Yes, SDSS J101740.90+080417.4, which is a quite close (z_zp=0.182) big elliptical with a 'dead and red' spectrum:
Those smaller yellow blobs around the main galaxy are also galaxies, probably ellipticals in the same (rich) cluster; that likely makes the central object a BCG (brightest cluster galaxy).
