Eggs of the Field-Sparrow are of much the same type as those of 

 S. monticola, but are more delicately marked. The ground-colour 

 is faint greenish-white, densely speckled on the broader half and 

 sparingly on the smaller half with dull brick-red and lilac-grey. 

 The markings sometimes form a cap at the broad end. The eggs 

 measure from "65 to "75 in length, and from '5 to -6 in breadth.
