The eggs of the Red-capped Plover vary from pyriform to a 

 pointed oval shape. They are quite gloss-less. The ground-colour 

 is buff, and this is marked with spots, small blotches, streaks, and 

 a few lines and scrawls of black, together with some pale purple 

 underlying blotches. The markings are larger and more frequent 

 at the broad end than elsewhere. Seven specimens measure from 

 1*12 to l-j!5 in length, and from -9 to -93 iu breadth.
