It is the 37th most-seen of the 43 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.
November
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-winged Indigobird in Lomé on a given day, against under 5% in January, March, May–June and September–October, the lowest months. That is one of Lomé's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain against 180 mm in June. February, April, July and December have too few records to rate.
Only Lomé, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale-winged Indigobird is recorded against all the birds logged in Lomé (6 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.
