The eggs of the Tropical White-breasted Plover vary from pyri- 

 form to an oval shape and exhibit a small amount of gloss. They 

 are of a buff colour, thickly blotched all over with black and pale 

 inkj--]iurple. The markings are more or less confluent, but do not 

 form either a cap or a zone at the broad end. Specimens measure 

 from 1-35 to 1'4 in length, and from -93 to 1 in breadth.
