Whitish Layer on top of secondary

[waitej02]

I racked my rye IPA into the bottling bucket yesterday after 2 weeks (dry hopped with cascade and columbus). There was a whitish layer which looked hard. I have seen the hops floating before, but this looked like milk-fat. I lost quite a lot of yield, as I left this behind. It did not smell. Any ideas what it may be?

Looks like trub. Yeast and hops and break material. Seems ok to me.

Just looks like yeast floaters stained with hop debris to me.

A friend sent me a picture of one of his batches with a film, but it looked different (covered the entire top and seems bright white). Any thoughts on this one?

That doesn't look like a pellicle, looks to me like some residual krausen? I'm not sure
