Default Anybodody knowthis little square nut?

Hi Guys,

Wife has a 06' RX 330. I found today one little metal piece dropped on the ground at the driver side (I took a few shots). It looks like a nut but has a square shape, can anybody help me to identify what is it and where it possible come from? Looks around the engine compartment, but couldn't get a clue. Thanks a lot.

Looks like a cable adjuster nut, maybe the E brake?

Might I venture a guess that it goes to the air box in the engine compartment? Was the air filter changed recently? If so, would make sure everything is still tightly attached.

Thanks Guys for the knowledgeable information (never disappointed here!). I will run a check and report back. I did change the air filter a few weeks ago.
