The eggs of the White-throated Thickhead are of an ordinary- 

 oval shape, occasionally pointed, and exhibiting a considerable 

 amount of gloss. They vary from cream-colour to pale brownish 

 buff, and are spotted and blotched -with umber-brown and 

 purplish-grey. The markings are generally dense and confluent at 

 the broad end of the egg, where they form an irregular zone, but are 

 sparse elsewhere. Specimens measure from '87 to I'd in length, 

 and from -65 to "7 in breadth,
