    SDSS J161358.61+301809.4 is the highly inclined spiral in the center:

    Or perhaps the host is the faint red blob, which SDSS does not recognize as a separate photometric object, a galaxy in a background z ~0.7 cluster?

    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 is the galaxy SDSS J161358.61+301809.4, near the ARG image (ARG0001pl7; J2000.0). "z_ph" is an SDSS photometric redshift of the galaxy in the center.
