    Centered on the pink (an almost-sure sign it's a QSO) z_sp 0.488 SDSS J170758.07+440243.5:

    How does the FIRST radio emission map?

    Yes, SDSS J170758.07+440243.5 seems to be the host of the almost-hourglass FIRST emission ... and the apparent giant elliptical (with some odd companions/lensed background objects) z_ph 0.482±0.0185/0.487±0.0725 SDSS J170759.80+440238.3 as the host of the (very) odd (morphology-wise) doublelobe:

    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 J170758.07+440243.5; "z_sp" its SDSS spectroscopic redshift.
