We imaged the field of the EP260603a (Liang et al., GCN Circ. 44814) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2026-06-04 06:09 to 06:25 UTC (from 12.30 to 12.58 hours after the trigger) and obtained 14 minutes of simultaneous exposure in the r/z filters.
The data were reduced, coadded and analysed with the ASU COLIBRÍ pipeline. The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
In the stacked image, we do not detect any new source within the WXT source region (Liang et al., GCN Circ. 44814) down to the following 5-sigma limit:
r > 22.5
z > 21.3

COLIBRÍ is an astronomical observatory developed and operated jointly by France (AMU, CNES and CNRS) and Mexico (UNAM and SECIHTI). It is located at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, Mexico.
