The Nearby Supernova Factory reports that a spectrum (range 340-1000 nm) of SN 2005bp (IAUC # 8515 ), obtained April 19.5 UT with the SuperNova Integral Field Spectrograph on the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope, shows it to be a Type II shortly after explosion. Weak P-Cyg profiles of H_alpha and He I 587.6-nm are present at a velocity of approximately 17,000 km/s, assuming the NED velocity for the host of 8288 km/s.
