The eggs of the Yellow-breasted Bunting are mostly of a broad 

 oval form and have a considerable amount of gloss. They are very 

 variable. Some are quite inseparable from eggs of E. schoenidus. 

 Others are greyish-green, blotched and smeared with two shades of 

 olive-brown, and some underlying lavender-grey, and with some 

 spots and short lines of deep brown or black. Others again are 

 purplish-grey marked with spots, specks, and lines of deep purplish- 

 brown and clouds and smears of lilac-grey. They measure from '72 

 to -85 in length, and from -58 to -62 in breadth.
