The eggs of the Yellow-headed Wagtail are so similar in general 

 character to those of M. hoarula of the commoner type, that they 

 cannot be separated from them. They measure from -72 to -82 in 

 length, and from -56 to -6 in breadth. A very small example 

 measures only '06 by '5, and is one of a clutch of six eggs.
