Paul, Sometimes a residual coloured stain can be due to undissolved anti-halation backing. This is usually washed away by the developer and is the reason some developers pour out of the tank with a strong bluish colouring. If you're using a very dilute developer or are pulling the film the backing might not dissolve completely. Some film and developer combinations just don't clear the anti-halation very well, either.
Try rinsing the film in fresh developer, it often works in cases where you've eliminated exhausted fixer as the culprit. No need to fix again, just wash and rinse as usual.
