We report on the recent NIR Flare of the intermediate redshift Blazar HB891749+096 (z=0.322), associated with the Gamma-ray source 2FGLJ1751.5+0937 and the radio source OT+081. On July 10th,2016 (MJD 2457579.7525), we found the source with NIR fluxes corresponding to: J = 13.328 +/- 0.03, H = 12.447 +/- 0.04 and Ks = 11.673 +/- 0.04. On MJD 2457347. we had determined the fluxes to be J = 15.020, H = 14.210 and Ks = 13.275.The object is brightest since the time we started monitoring it on MJD 2455440. 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 strongly encourage further multiwavelength coverage.
