We obtained a spectrum of MASTER OT J164244.87+272054.3 (ATel #9022) on 2016 May 6.6 UT with the robotic FLOYDS instrument mounted on the LCOGT 2-meter telescope in Siding Spring, Australia. Using SNID (Blondin & Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024), we find a good fit to the normal Type Ia SN 1990N 2 days after maximum light at redshift z=0.108.
