  Hi Matty - yeah, just like Terrance says a beautiful irregular galaxy. This is probably quite low mass, and relatively nearby. I wonder if it's interacting with the barred spiral to the left, or if they're at really different distances (might be able to find out by following the links to NED via "Galaxy Zoo Examine".
