This looks like a small edge for white, let us take a look at the position in some more detail.
First
The king position is very important in endgames, here white has a slightly better king, being a bit closer to the center (middle)

Second
The black pawns blockade the bishop more than whites pawns does, so there is another little edge, however white might have a technically worse structure.

I would think it should be possible for black to hold a draw in this position.

Sort:  

1....f5 2.h3-h5 3.g4-hg4 4.fg4-fg4 possible to draw

But you have a clearly worse endgame, the more pawns you can protect with your bishop the worse it gets for you.
