Four eggs believed to be those of the Yellow-winged Hangnest 

 are of a broad and blunt oval shape, and glossy. They are stone- 

 colour or pinkish-grey, marked, almost entirely in the form of a 

 zone or cap at the broad end, with spots, blotches and short lines 

 of black, chocolate-brown and lavender. They vary from -88 to 1 

 in length, and from -64 to -71 in breadth. 



Nehrkorn describes eggs of this species as being blue-grey spotted 

 with violet and black over the entire shell.
