Rear wheel creak

Rolling the bike in to the garage after a 150 mile ride yesterday I heard a creak from the rear wheel. On the rear stand, the sound occurs at a single spot, I'd say across about 30 degrees of rotation. Not the chain, not the disc, sounds like it's inside the rear wheel. Could a bad wheel bearing do this? I suppose I'll pull the wheel and regrease the axle and spacers today but it's something I've never heard.

Wheel bearing. The sound goes away when the axle nut is loosened just a hair.
