Are you referring to the opening note of the track? I'd argue that's a pickup note.

Edit: Either way, I just tapped out to 13/16 and see how that fits perfectly. Thanks for explaining.

13/16 still isn't perfect. There is something like an extra quarter beat every measure, as in 13.25/16. Of course, that makes it closer to 13/16 than 7/8.
