Spiral-like features

Just really curious how a seasoned zooite / moderator would classify this galaxy, every assumption i make seems wrong.

loose 2 armed spiral..( looks like it could be from a merger as the bulge seems bright..? )

I'd go for a tight two-armed spiral with an obvious bulge.

@sat666/leg : Why would you call this a loose spiral ? The spiral arms are wound very tight.
