Wrong Color Marker?

I have been wracking my brain on this one. Anyone familiar with the area or perhaps Bizer himself could chime in with a map shot of the area.

Here goes:

Right off the Idlewild beach/docks on Cow Island there is a RED SPAR marking a rock that sits to the SOUTH of the marker. I truly believe this marker to be the wrong color. Bizer map correctly tells you in order to miss the hazard (large rock about 4 feet down)to pass to the NORTH of this RED SPAR. This seems to go directly against normal logic. I investigated the area thoroughly the other day and I could find absolutely nothing to support why this marker is RED. If you look at your chart look for FL 41 and look south towards COW, between COW and Ragged Island. Some Charts show this RED to be further east than it actually is. I can tell you that as it sits the marker is properly placed, marking a legit hazard, it's just the wrong color.
