Default Indicator showing not in manual?

I have this indicator showing up and I can't seem to find anything in the owners manual that looks even remotely similar. I think it kind of looks like a man so maybe it's telling me to get a service. I reset the "Service in xxxxxx" thing and I am still getting the symbol but no service message. Can anyone here help me or am I doomed to take it to the dealership? I recently replaced my front rotors but not the brake pads. Brakes feel great though. Also recently my washer fluid was nearly out so I topped that up and got rid of the washer symbol but not this weird manly one. Anyway here is the pic.

My guess is low washer fluid as well.

I'd guess a bulb is out. Especially since he said he just topped off the fluid. Plus, that looks more like the bulb symbol than the washer fluid symbol.

Now that I look at it, I think I'm going to change my guess to bulb as well.

Thanks for the help everyone. I did some CSI type ish and took the image from the bulb warning, added some "dead pixels", and produced this: Name:  RBnGD.jpg
