We report an optical spectrum (range 380-850 nm) of ASASSN-15uy (ATEL 8491) that was obtained on UT Jan. 08.9 2015 with the 2.16-m telescope (+BFOSC) at Xinglong Station of National Astronomical Observatories of China. Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra using the spectral comparison tool Gelato (Harutyunyan et al., 2008, A&A, 488, 383) shows that the spectrum matches with
a few type IIb supernovae within 1-2 weeks from the maximum light.
