Hylarana tytleri
In 3 days ~40% in a week ~70%
Hylarana tytleri is a frog species in the family Ranidae. It is found in eastern and northeastern India, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and southern Nepal, and possibly at lower elevations in Bhutan. It was formerly placed in Rana, and included in the common green frog (H. erythraea). It is probably a close relative of that species nonetheless, and thus placed in the revalidated genus Hylarana, of which H. erythraea is the type species. Common name Theobald's ranid frog has been coined for it, although common names for Indian frogs previously identified as Rana erythraea include yellow-striped frog, leaf frog, and leaping frog.
Males grow to a maximum size of 33 mm (1.3 in) and females to 45 mm (1.8 in) in snout–vent length (SVL). The head is moderately elongated. The shanks are relatively long (about 55% of SVL). Webbing is partial. The body is uniformly greenish with two whitish or yellow lines laterally on back. There are two distinct brown lines on inner side of latero-dorsal folds. No mid-dorsal line is present.
Hylarana tytleri is a lowland (below 300 m (980 ft) above sea level) species associated with a variety of aquatic habitats including... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-striped Frog sighting in Dhaka on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-striped Frog in Dhaka on a given day, against under 5% in July, September and November–May, the lowest months. Those are among Dhaka's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in January.
Only Dhaka, in our data
Dhaka is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Yellow-striped Frog sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Anura
The closest relatives of the Yellow-striped Frog that you can see in Dhaka (order Anura, Frogs and Toads) are Common Indian Toad (about 60%), Indian Five-Fingered Frog (about 30%) and Indus Valley Bullfrog (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-striped Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Dhaka (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.
