The eggs of Eartram's Sandpiper are mostly of a very broad 

 oval form. A few specimens, however, are narrow and lengthened, 

 and others are pyriform. They resemble the eggs of the Common 

 and Green Sandpipers, and are as glossy as those of the former 

 species. The ground varies from cream-colour to a light huff, and 

 this is covered with rather small distinct spots and blotches of 

 umber-brown and underlying pale purple. The markings are rather 

 more numerous at the large end than elsewhere, but they are seldom 

 confluent, and they rarely form a noticeable cap or even a large 

 blotch. The eggs measure from 1-73 to 2 in length, and from 1-25. 

 to 1"35 in breadth.
