We report spectroscopic and photometric observations of the recent M31 nova candidate, PTF11rdv (M31N 2011-12a?), discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory (Cao & Kasliwal, ATel #3800). At our request, a spectrum (410–900 nm) was obtained by M. Shetrone on 2011 Dec. 21.18 UT with the 9.2-m Hobby-Eberly Telescope (+ Marcario Low-Resolution Spectrograph). The spectrum reveals strong Balmer, He I (λ 587.6 nm; λ 667.8 nm; λ 706.5 nm) and O I (λ 844.6 nm) emission lines (FWHM Hα ~1500 km/s; EW Hα ~ -100.0 nm), along with weak emission features of Fe II (multiplets 37, 38, 42, 48, 49), superimposed on a flat continuum.
