ARG0000j2i - large, faint, mis-shapen green host of normal-looking doublelobes?

At z_ph 0.340±0.1280/0.351±0.0979, SDSS J165042.71+511258.2 must be far too big to be an irregular, it's rather too misshapen to be a disk galaxy, and no self-respecting ordinary elliptical would be caught wearing those colors! Maybe the photometric redshift estimate is way off?
In any case, what's it doing being the host of this fairly normal-looking FIRST doublelobe?
