That's a 12-point head. If it's on Gen I small block or LT1 headers it will probably be a 3/8" 12-point socket or a regular 12-point box end wrench. If it's on an LSx motor it's probably a metric size and someone else will be able to tell you he exact size.

God I hate to go off-topic, but that Sony of yours takes incredible pics :O
But yes, most of the time your standard sockets fit. They DO make specialty sockets that match right up. My friend has a bunch.

buy an 11mm wrench and use that, it works wonders. grind off the area of the open end to get in there and really wrench down on stuff. it should work for the 12 sided head.
