  Perhaps the host is z_ph 0.558 ± 0.1774/0.473 ± 0.1917 SDSS J170525.37+221616.7:

  Zooming in ...

  

  Distant, reddish blob SDSS J170525.37+221616.7 seems the better choice for host ...

  Boilerplate: SDSS image per http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR10/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx, FIRST (red) contours derived from the FITS file produced using SkyView with Python code described in this RGZ Talk thread. Image center (J2000.0) is the galaxy SDSS J170525.98+221617.9; "z_sp" its SDSS spectroscopic redshift.
