On 2019-07-06 we have obtained a spectrum of the transient AT2019hlv/ASASSN-19pj (ATel #12901) with the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS - Dopita et al., 2007, ApSS, 310, 255) on board 2.3m ANU telescope at Siding Spring Observatory. We classify the transient as a Type Ia Supernova at thirteen days post-maximum. We have performed spectral fitting with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024). The spectrum matches with the template of SN1995ak with derived redshift of 0.043.
