Hard to tell which feature it is from the HIRISE image. Perhaps it is the roundish feature near the rim that appears below the "Duck Bay" label in this image:

The MER scientists did refer to the small rim crater that appears in the APOD image in the Friday news conference. They gave it the name "Sputnik". It's mentioned about 19 minutes into the news conference which can be viewed here:
