We present the preliminary results of simultaneous XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL observations of the highly absorbed INTEGRAL source IGR J16320-4751. We refine the X-ray position with XMM-Newton, and then examine the spectral properties of the source using both satellites, separating two periods visible in the lightcurves, an initial flare and a more steady period. We show that the source spectrum and its behaviour are compatible with IGR J16320-4751 being a pulsar accreting from a high mass companion.
