We imaged the field of Swift/BAT GRB 250331B (Cenko et al., GCN Circ. 39958) with the DDRAGO wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir in Mexico.

We started observing at 2025-03-31 04:21:10 UTC (87 s after the trigger) and obtained a total of 100 s exposure in the i filter. The data were coadded with the COLIBRÍ pipeline and analyzed in STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2025), with photometric calibration against Pan-STARRS DR1 and image subtraction against Pan-STARRS DR2. Our photometry is in the AB system and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.

At the XRT localization, we do not find any optical counterpart to a 3-sigma limiting magnitude of:
	i > 20.96
We warmly thank the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams and the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir.
