The eggs of the Crimson-winged Laughing-Thrush vary from a 

 narrow to a broad oval form, and they have a large amount of 

 gloss. The ground-colour is of a pale blue, and this is sparingly 

 marked with an infinite variety of spots, blotches, dashes, scrawls, 

 aud hieroglyphic-like lines of chocolate-brown, reddish brown and 

 black. Intermingled with these are some small underlying spots 

 of pale purple. Although the markings are larger and more 

 numerous at the large end than elsewhere, there is no general 

 tendency for these to coalesce and form a cap. The eggs measure 

 from '98 to 1'15 in length, and from "7 to '82 in breadth.
