If you are within the seven days depending on your country's law. I'd return it for a new one. Since you got yours delivered fro somewhere I guess it involves shipping and waiting. Try simple mirror cleaning with a blower.
Don't use a compressed air from a can! It's to strong and can damage your camera.
If it worked enjoy your new camera if not do the shipping.

Spot in high center.
It's dust on the sensor.. Many are probably shipped that way but you happened to try it at a very small aperture and saw it sooner. I counted 5 specs but then I cleaned my screen
, only 4 remain.
The Sensor mapping feature works best when the camera is pointed at a flat well lit evenly colored surface (like a white wall). The dust mapping feature can Also show dust that isn't really there so care should be taken to properly use it.
Get yourself a blower as the first defense. Wheatfield swears by the canned air, I say use it with caution and at your own risk. We won't ever agree on that so there's no point in debating it. Some use other products and report varying degrees of success. Welcome to the world of interchangeable lens Digital SLR cameras. Just like death and taxes, sensor dust is a fact of life. Returning the camera isn't gong to guarantee a clean one. It is entirely possible that the minute you removed the body cap to mount the lens, you picked up the dust problem. You'll go blind broke returning cameras hoping to get a perfect one. If cleaning the sensor scares you and you have a local shop, they'll sometimes handle it, for a fee.
Good luck and enjoy your new camera when you get it all sorted out.
