Kaloula rugifera
In 3 days ~40% in a week ~60%
Kaloula rugifera, the Sichuan digging frog or Szechwan narrowmouth toad, is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae found in China. It is endemic to China where it is found in Sichuan and extreme southern Gansu. Its habitats are hilly areas near villages. It has also been recorded from tree-holes. Breeding takes place in temporary pools and ponds. This previously very common is believed to be declining because of habitat loss associated with infrastructure development.
Male Kaloula rugifera grow to a snout–vent length of about 39 mm (1.5 in) and females to 49 mm (1.9 in). Tadpoles are up to 31 mm (1.2 in) in length. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sichuan Digging Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Chengdu (5 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
