Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Collared Warbling-Finch sighting in Lima on a given day, based on 340 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 96th most-seen of the 171 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and December–February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Collared Warbling-Finch in Lima on a given day, against under 5% in March–September and November, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Collared Warbling-Finch is recorded against all the birds logged in Lima (340 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.
