We previously obtained near-IR multiband images of the field containing the quiescent X-ray transient pulsar GRO J1744-28 (the "Bursting Pulsar") on 2004 Feb 11 using the PANIC camera on the 6.5-meter Magellan/Baade telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. The exposure times were 5 min in J-band and 2.5 min in each of H- and K-bands. We find a candidate counterpart within the error circle (0.6" radius; this includes the uncertainty from our astrometric calibration) of the reported X-ray position (Muno et al.
