High speed noise, passenger front

I'm sometimes getting a high-frequency noise at highway speed and hoping you can help me diagnose the issue. It sounds like a brake issue, but I'm not getting any of the other indicators (no low speed noise or squealing when braking).

The pads "look ok" (I've not measured) and the rotors also "look ok" (but certainly could be helped by resurfacing), and I'm at 55,000 so it's not too early to be thinking about front brakes. What else should I be thinking through (caliper issue; something else entirely)?

For reference, here is the passenger front

And driver front

Any thoughts on this? Or just do the brakes and see if it recurs?

Geez those are big pictures
 
How are the dust shields on the other side? Is there any chance that you’ve come in contact with anything that would bend it?

Also, have you jacked up the front and inspected the wheel for any slop that might point to a bad wheel bearing?
