The radio source PKS 0400-181 has a classical edge-brightened double-lobe structure, similar to that of Cygnus A. No radio core has been detected, but the radio centroid is located just 2.8 arcsec from the centre of a 16th mag spiral galaxy. CCD observations reveal the presence of a very red and slightly extended (2.5×1.3 arcsec2) object superimposed on the image of the spiral and 1.5 arcsec from the radio centroid. The properties of this red object and of the radio source are consistent with a powerful radio galaxy at a redshift of ≈0.5; the spiral galaxy is probably a foreground object located by chance along the line-of-sight.
