Could be several things, if it really bothers you I would get a new set of pads for what it's worth. It also could be buildup on the rotor if it's been sitting for awhile and that goes away after a few stops, this is usually rust or dirt not a big deal.

Replacing the pads:
Jack the rear up and remove the tire, there are two pins in the caliper that need to be pressed out and then the spacer that the pins hold in place. After that pull the pads out and re-insert the new pad, spacer and pins. There are no one time use items. You may need to press in the caliper piston to make space for the new pads fit, this can be done by hand.

Just make sure you put the spacer right side up or you will have an insane squeal.

Hope that helps
