Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely a normal pigmentation change though it is hard to know based on a picture as it is blurry. I would continue to monitor her for now. If this is not associated with a skin lesion, itchiness or a skin discharge, I would not be too concerned about this. If she does develop any of the above, I recommend you have her evaluated then. Good luck!
