The eggs of the Small Rufous Pipit vary iu form from a narrow 

 pointed to a broad oval, and exhibit a small amount of gloss. 

 They are white or greyish, marked in various ways with different 

 tints of brown, reddish-brown, purplish-red, and underlying lavender 

 or lilac. In many specimens the markings are all small and distinct ; 

 in others they are large and blotchy, and between these extremes 

 many variations of pattern occur, but in every case a large amount 

 of the ground-colour remains visible. The markings are often 

 larger and closer together at the broad end than elsewhere, but they 

 seldom form any well-defined cap. Specimens measure from "75 to 

 •86 ill length, and from "57 to "63 in breadth.
