We re-imaged the field of GRB 260604C (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 44822, Gotz et al., GCN Circ. 44823) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2026-06-08 06:37 to 09:24 UTC (from 3.43 to 3.54 days after the trigger) and obtained 64, 63, and 127 minutes of exposure in the g, r, and z filters respectively.
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 our first epoch reported by Becerra et al. (GCN Circ. 44827), we measured:
g-r = 0.13 +/- 0.07
g-z = 0.48 +/- 0.10
In this epoch, we measured:
g-r = 0.47 +/- 0.06
g-z = 0.86 +/- 0.09
Our measurements indicate a significant reddening of the source between the two epochs.
Moreover, we also observe the rebrightening first reported by the Mondy team (Pankov et al., GCN Circ. 44862). The rise began approximately 30 hours after the trigger and lasted for about 30 hours.
Further observations and analysis are ongoing.

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.
