Assuming the "high albedo anomaly" is not an artifact of the image processing, (I can think of several ways that might happen) its most interesting characteristic is that the brighter spot is at the precise center of a crater, where the central peak of an impact feature can usually be found. Several other craters show central peaks, so apparently that process occurs on Ceres as well. The other, fainter spot shows up about half-way to the crater rim. Both look like specular reflections, like you would expect from flat, polished sheets of ice, not mere patches of dirty snow. And it it seems highly unlikely there would be two flat, smooth shiny spots at just the right angle to the sun and spacecraft and that close together to each other.
Keep in mind, the sun can't be much more than about 30 degrees above the horizon at that location, and probably less, from the position of the terminator and the length of the shadows. So if the reflection is indeed specular, it is from a flat surface at a severe angle to the local horizontal.
