We obtained a spectrum of ASASSN-15jl (ATel #7527) on 2015 May 19.5 UT with the robotic FLOYDS instrument mounted on the Faulkes Telescope North. Using SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024), we find a good fit to the normal Type Ia SN 2003du a few days before peak at the redshift of the proposed host galaxy (z=0.035; SDSS DR3 via NED).
