We report BR-photomerty of the probable nova M31 2016-07c (PNV J00435768+4134528) located at RA(2000) = 00h43m57.94s, Dec(2000) = +41d34'54.6", which is 830.0" east and 1126.1" north of the center of M31. The coordinates uncertainties are 0''.24 in RA and 0''.12 in DEC. The images are obtained with the 50/70cm Schmidt telescope at Rozhen NAO, Bulgaria. The magnitudes are:
2016 July 22.024 UT, R=17.74+/-0.04 (7x180s)
2016 July 22.040 UT, B=18.47+/-0.08 (4x180s)
2016 July 23.044 UT, R=18.18+/-0.06 (5x180s)
2016 July 23.052 UT, B=18.79+/-0.10 (3x180s)
Additional observations are required, particularly spectroscopy.
