Default adjective & adverb

He is a lovely guy.
In this sentence lovely is an adverb or an adjective?
Although I think it is an adjective, but the test I took said I was wrong.
Thank you for answering me.

Yes, it's an adjective.
The writer of the test answers has apparently been confused by its ending in "ly". This is a bad mistake by the test maker.
