A spectrum (range 330-990 nm) of SN 2005L in MCG+07-33-5 (IAUC # 8469 ), obtained Jan 27.64 UT with the SuperNova Integral Field Spectrograph on the University of Hawaii 2.2m telescope, reveals it to be a very peculiar type Ia supernova possibly one to two weeks past maximum. Assuming a host redshift from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey of z = 0.07, we clearly identify the Si II 6150 AA absorption at ejection velocity 10,000 km/s. The blue region (330-510 nm) is littered with numerous absorption features from intermediate mass elements, among which we identify Mg II, Si III and a weak Ca II.
