Custom shape shows unwanted extra line
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw (-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}
This is supposed to be a closed custom shape WITHOUT the straight line!
How can I get rid of this unwanted line?
Putting '-- cycle' at the end makes no difference.

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.
