It could be on the focusing screen if your seeing it in the viewfinder.

I agree, it could well be on the focus screen or even sticking to the focus superimpose screen above the focus screen. A quick study of the manual and careful use of a Rocket blower could solve your problem.

Yes, I also vote for focusing screen as the most likely location for an eyelash...

if you see it in the viewfinder, it has to either be on the mirror or on the viewfinder, not on the photosensor...

blow it.
