Not sure but believe that may be the microphone for Bluetooth handsfree.

Not sure what is behind yours. I previously thought it was part of the Anti theft motion detection system. Gently pried the cover off this morning and have absolutely nothing there. Plastic screen part should be able to be gently pried out from one end. One end hooks into place and the other sort of has a pressure ridge to make a tight fit. Let us know what you find there.

Might have the grill for a mic even if it you don't have BT. Try finding it on a parts diagram at www.realoem.com

Located it in the real OEM link above. Listed as "Cover, Microphone". If your car has a blutooth system then behind the cover should be a "Hands Free Telephone Microphone". Otherwise it is just empty space.
