  This is again a Be star with a disk. SED looks rather unusual for a star of that kind. Is its disk massive?

  Whoah--that does look weird. Will check quickly through the literature...

  This is a high mass star transitioning to an evolved object. Given the early B spectral type, this kind of object may not live long enough to produce any solid bodies.
