  You have an extra -- (-4.261,2.617) which draws a straight line to the start point of the path. Remove that and swap the start and end angles of the arc: draw (-4.261,2.617)..controls (2.5,1.5) and (-4.5,-3)..(3.908,-3.118) arc (321.42:148.44:5);.

  @PhelypeOleinik Yes, that's the probably best solution here. You should write an answer.

I saw Phelype's comment and deleted the post. Now I am undeleting it per request. But I will be happy to delete it again. In any case, full credits go to Phelype Oleinik, who was the first to propose a solution.

In fact, I like Phelype's proposal better than "just removing the line". Here is why:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{tikz}

begin{document}

Reversing the arc:

begin{tikzpicture}

draw[fill=blue] (-4.261,2.617)..controls (2.5,1.5) and (-4.5,-3)..(3.908,-3.118) 

 arc (321.42:148.44:5);

end{tikzpicture}



Just removing the line:

begin{tikzpicture}

draw[fill=red] (-4.261,2.617)..controls (2.5,1.5) and (-4.5,-3)..(3.908,-3.118)

      (-4.261,2.617) arc (148.44:321.42:5);

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

The blue corresponds to what I would suggest, namely reversing the arc, and the red one "removing the line", which works at the level of the contour but does not yield a continuous path.
