We report on a NIR rebrightening of the radio source NVSSJ020344+304238, cross-identified with the high redshift quasar BZBJ0203+3042 (z=0.761) and tentatively with the Gamma-ray source 3FGLJ0203.6+3043. We have reobserved the source in the NIR, finding that on November 29th,2018 (MJD 2458451.9049) its H-band flux corresponded to H = 15.046 +/- 0.03. This flux in H is 2 times higher than the previously determined value by our team (H = 15.799 +/- 0.06 on MJD 2458146.6133). In the past, the source has presented flaring activity in the NIR (see ATEL#11215). Our observations are carried out with the 2.1m telescope of the Guillermo Haro Observatory operated by the National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (Mexico), equipped with the instrument CANICA a NIR camera. We encourage further multi wavelength coverage.
