Is the expression fellow colleague redundant?

Yes, "fellow colleague" is redundant.

* Colleague already implies someone who works with you.

* Fellow is a synonym for "someone who shares a common characteristic", and in this case, that characteristic is working together.

Therefore, saying "fellow colleague" is like saying "a colleague who is a colleague". You can simply say "colleague".
