To look cool I posted a computer analysis at the bottom - to provide computer input. With my patzer eye I would say black has a pawn extra which in principle is enough to win the game, even because there are two pawns ending at the back rank on a promotion field covered by the bishop. If white is able to swap all his pieces for the one pawn at the a-file, and gets his king behind the pawn in time, it indeed is a draw, but black should be able to keep the king away, and white will not be able to be there on time, making the pawn to promote. I'd say white can play out its majority and cash in his extra pawn, starting with an attack with the bshop on c3, and promote eventually on a1 or c1, but I think a1. Won for black. Maybe time trouble maybe threefold repetition, maybe not sure. I am very well capable of losing such a position with black, trust me.
