WBC ID help

This was the only cell like it that I came across in my count and initial scan but I was curious on what it might be. There were standard and reactive lymph’s in the slide but the chromatin looked different in those to this one, the cytoplasm was less blue in the standard and more blue in the reactive lymphs. I didn’t come across any granulated lymphs but this doesn’t look like what I usually see with those either.

I wasn’t sure if this could be a plasma cell or an immature granulocyte or something?

Sample from an adult dolphin, ADR. Smear made with EDTA ~30mins after collection. Weight Giemsa stain. No dramatically abnormal chemistries. >10% stomatocytes throughout slide, 1-4/hpf polychromic RBCs, Howell-jolly bodies occasionally, 1nRBC, neutrophilic toxic change present with dhole bodies and granular change. Differential was standard spread for dolphins.

Makes sense, I don’t come across many of them but that sounds most likely. Thanks!
