Default Oil changed - part found?!

In the theme of found mysterious parts, did my first oil change today and found this in the filter drip tray. No ford markings on it, hard plastic.
any ideas?
3.5 EB

Looks like a protective cap for one of the ECU connectors. The suppliers send Ford the ECU's with the caps to protect any pins from getting bent, and Ford removes them during assembly when they connect everything. They are disposable protective pieces. Look like yours just went along for the ride...

Yea def looks electrical harness related. Would make sense it’s a cover from the factory.
Thanks!
