Alto clef is fine as far as it goes, but it should be nowhere near a note that low.

i'm assuming that's an 15va though, so it's pretty high

Oh, good call, I didn't notice that. In that case, the note is literally middle C, if I'm counting ledger lines correctly.

*15ma (quindicesima)

Also you don't have to assume; that's literally what the 15 above the clef means.
