An egg of Loten’s Sun-bird is of a somewhat elongate, rather 
pointed oval shape, and has very little gloss: the ground-colour is 
white, finely dotted and mottled all over with pale umber-brown, 
the markings being rather more concentrated towards the larger 
end so as to form an indistinct zone. It measures ‘69 by °48.
