We obtained a spectrum of MASTER OT J220443.74-331330.6 (ATel #7793) on 2015 July 20.7 UT with the robotic FLOYDS instrument mounted on the Faulkes Telescope South. Using Superfit (Howell et al. 2005, ApJ, 634, 1190) and SNID (Blondin & Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024), we find a good fit to the normal Type Ia SN 1996X 23 days after maximum light at a redshift consistent with that of the proposed host galaxy (z=0.059; Colless et al. 2003, "The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey Final Data Release" via NED).
