In 3 days ~10%
The orange bullfinch (Pyrrhula aurantiaca) is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae. It is native to northern India and Pakistan. Its natural habitat is temperate montane forest. Orange bullfinch are scarcely found in the forests of Astore District and Diamer and Kaghan and Neelum Valley District. During summer and spring seasons they are found in fir, pine, birch and mixed forest at 3,500m, while they come down to 1,550m to 2,350m in winter season.
They feed primarily on the ground, in snow-covered areas, and at the base of trees and bushes. Flocks often fly into tall trees at regular intervals and then return to the same ground. It feeds primarily on the hard-shelled seeds, buds, fruits, and shoots of trees, as well as large herbaceous shrubs, including the buds and catkins of birch, willow, and cherry. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Orange Bullfinch sighting in Srinagar on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 85th most-seen of the 120 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orange Bullfinch in Srinagar on a given day, against under 5% in February–April and June–December, the lowest months.
Only Srinagar, in our data
Srinagar is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Orange Bullfinch sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange Bullfinch is recorded against all the birds logged in Srinagar (11 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.
