Lens or arc? Starforming Polar Ring?

Not very sure what to make of this one. Looked at first like a possible lens or arc, but looking closer there seems to be a starforming arm? Can anyone help please?

No lens or arc. IMO arm and tiny #bar .

I suspect this galaxy isn't massive enough to be a lens, so it's more likely to be an arm.
