Default What is this galaxy?

Anyone know what kind of galaxy this galaxy might be?

http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr13/en/to...189&dec=13.076

It has a ring around the central bulge, but no apparent black hole
central high intensity region. Looks a little like a polar ring galaxy,
but the ring is within the bulge near the outer radius of the bulge.

Easiest to see if you zoom in 2 clicks, then invert the image. it's
right next to a disrupted galaxy in Virgo Cluster (which can be seen by
zooming out a couple clicks.

Looks like a galaxy without a black hole, unless the small bright knot
to the north is an ejected black hole.

Thanks,

rt
