Rhinella granulosa
In 3 days ~60% in a week ~90%
Rhinella granulosa, also known as granular toad and common lesser toad, is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. The species was redelimited in 2009 and is now considered endemic to Brazil. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)—still using a broader definition for this species—the natural habitats of Rhinella granulosa are open areas, savanna, forests, and river shorelines. During the daytime they hide in holes in the ground. They feed on ants and termites. This adaptable species is not considered threatened. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a granular toad sighting in Recife on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 9 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and May
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a granular toad in Recife on a given day, against under 5% in June and October, the lowest months. Those are among Recife's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in November.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate granular toad sightings, Recife has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Maceió (Brazil, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the granular toad is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Recife (17 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.
