  so it would become red, as galaxies become redshifted when they are further away.

  But I think that object has the redness of a star in our galaxy, so I would say it is a overlap.

  It could be a distant galaxy.

  It could be a distant galaxy being gravitationally lensed by the nucleus of a edge-on spiral galaxy. We are hoping to find these, but there is nothing red on the other side of the nucleus.
