R-band image acquired with the “Cassini” telescope plus BFOSC (upper panel) and UKIDSS K-band image (lower panel) of the field of IGR J18462 − 0223, both with the 90% confidence level XMM-Newton and Swift X-ray error circles (the right (blue) and the left (red) one, respectively superimposed). For both images, the field size is about 40′′    ×    40′′; north is at the top and east to the left. The 2MASS object mentioned by Bodaghee et al. (2012) is also labeled and indicated with an arrow in the upper panel, whereas the counterpart we propose in this paper is the NIR object in the lower panel contained within the intersection of the Swift and the XMM-Newton error circles.
