We combine 610 MHz GMRT data, 1.4 GHz VLA data, and 1.4 GHz WSRT observations, encompassing a ~ 4 square degree field centered on the verification strip of the Spitzer First Look Survey field, to study radio sources down to fluxes of about 0.1 mJy. The spectral index (Figure 1) analysis shows that the majority of multi-component sources are steep-spectrum sources. Nevertheless the spread in the spectral distribution is wide, with a significant number of ultra-steep, flat or inverted sources, possibly indicating a wider range of accretion modes in fainter samples. By cross-correlating 107 multi-component radio sources with the optical catalogues of Marleau et al. (2007) and Papovich et al. (2006), 23 objects were identified.
