It looks like stains on the cement used to hold the band in, but I would definitely want to look at/ feel the margins of that filling you have on the lingual.

Likely to be stain. Would need to assess the tooth in person to be sure. A hygienist could try to remove it. If there's cement left over on the tooth, it can be removed and may help improve the appearance.

Just some staining, should come off in your next cleaning appointment.
