ARG0000l5m - low z bright compact source; huh?

    It seems the host is SDSS J103302.31+500645.3, which has a photometric redshift of ~0.076, and rather strange colors* (not to mention having an apparent companion/merging galaxy):

    Radio-wise, it seems it's a point source. No optical spectrum, so no real way to learn more about it, physically (or is there? radio brightness at other wavelengths? polarization?).

    Anyone?

    *not those of an ETG, nor most spirals
