This is most likely NGC 55, which is interacting weakly with NGC 300. NGC 55 is described as a Magellanic type barred spiral galaxy.

This answer assumes that you ignore the Large Magellenic Cloud itself, which is a barred spiral galaxy and is interacting with the Milky Way.

  • $\begingroup$ Another possible candidate is M33, which is more of a classical spiral galaxy than the LMC, though not everyone is sure it's barred. $\endgroup$
