Abstract
We argue that the existence of a new narrow (  MeV) nucleon resonance N*(1685) is strongly supported
by recent data on η photoproduction off the nucleon. The
resonance has much stronger photo-coupling to the neutron than to
the proton. This nucleon resonance is a good candidate for the
non-strange member of the exotic anti-decouplet of baryons - the
partner of the pentaquark Θ+. All known to the date
properties of new N*(1685) are summarized.
