strange thingy in the sky

yesterday arvo I was sitting down watching tv when I looked out side and notice this arc in the sky I assumed it was a rainbow, which it probably is but in the evening twilight it just came through as a pink arc,
It wasn't raining so I think it might have been the ice crystals in the high level cloud because the arc got brighter in the thinker part of the cloud.

It lasted as long as the sun set but got fainter by the minute so I was very lucky to look outside when I did, other wise It would have just disappeared.

2 shots at ISO 800, exposure was 100th of a second and f 4.5.
