Elliptical or Spiral?

  Is this a blue ellipital or a blue spiral galaxy?

  I think it's more likely a disk galaxy (i.e. a spiral) than an ETG (i.e. an elliptical).

  I can't be 100% sure, but I think I can see some structure in the blue/purple part - blurred arms? In any case, when the MWV is available, we can check it with that.
