We measured the infrared reflectivity of BaFe1.904Ni0.096As2 single crystal from room temperature down to 20 K.Two Drude terms and a Lorentz term well describe the real part of the optical conductivity σ1(ω). We fit the reciprocal of static optical conductivity 1/σ1(0) by the power law ρ(T)=ρ0+ATnwith n=1.6. The "broad" Drude component exhibits an incoherent background with a T-independent scattering rate 1/τb, while the other "narrow" one reveals a T-quadratic scattering rate 1/τn, indicating a hidden Fermi-liquid behavior in BaFe1.904Ni0.096As2 compound.
