In 3 days ~40% in a week ~70%
Anolis mariarum, also known commonly as the blemished anole, is a species of lizard in the family Dactyloidae. The species is endemic to Colombia. Anolis mariarum is found in central northwestern Colombia, in the department of Antioquia.
The preferred natural habitat of Anolis mariarum is forest, at altitudes of 1,300–2,900 m (4,300–9,500 ft), but it has also been found in disturbed areas such as city parks and forest edges. Anolis mariarum is oviparous. Anolis mariarum is a member of the Anolis auratus species group. Barbour, T. (1932). "New Anoles". Proceedings of the New England Zoological Club. 12: 97–102.

No species of the same family or order lives in Medellín, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Blemished Anole sighting in Medellín on a given day, based on 68 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 4th most-seen of the 15 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June, August and October–April
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Blemished Anole in Medellín on a given day, against under 5% in September, the lowest month.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Blemished Anole sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Medellín, in our data
Medellín is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Blemished Anole sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Blemished Anole is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Medellín (68 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.
