    Welcome to Galaxy Zoo.

    It's most certainly a galaxy! An irregular, in fact, or perhaps a dwarf elliptical/spheroid, as you can see from the SDSS image of it:

    It's your classifications of UKIDSS images like this which help astronomers relate IR morphology to the usual 'optical' ones.

    Happy hunting! 😃
