Here is Kian Jek's comment:
"From the profile it looks like a classic planetary transit, and may not be an EB after all - rapid drop offs, with a clustering of data points at a U-shaped bottom. Unfortunately we don't know the radius of the star."
Here is Daryll Lacourse's comment on Keppixseries below:
"July released target pixel files for KIC 2581316; the transits/eclipses seem visible and included within the large optimal aperture masks in each case. Contamination does not seem to be involved."
