In 3 days ~40% in a week ~70%
Physalaemus gracilis is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in southern Brazil, Uruguay, and adjacent Argentina and suspected in Paraguay. This frog lives near the edges of forests and in Cerrado grasslands. Scientists have seen it between 0 and 1,200 m (0 and 3,937 ft) above sea level. Scientists have seen the frog in protected areas.
These frogs reproduce by larval development in natural, temporary pools of water. Scientists have noted that the female frogs in Uruguay produce more eggs per individual than their counterparts in Brazil. The IUCN classifies this species as least concern of extinction. This frog has shown some tolerance to polluted habitats. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Graceful Dwarf Frog sighting in Montevideo on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the most-seen of the 5 amphibians 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.
September and November–December
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Graceful Dwarf Frog in Montevideo on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, April–May, July and October, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Graceful Dwarf Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Montevideo (16 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.
