The eggs of the Large Pied Wagtail are of an oval shape and 
moderately glossy. They are greenish-white, pale grey or pale 
brown, marked with pale umber-brown and lavender-grey. Those 
eggs which have a white ground appear to be generally marked 
with more or less well-defined spots and blotches somewhat 
sparingly distributed. Others with a grey or brown ground are, 
for the most part, densely streaked and mottled. Between these 
two types many intermediate varieties occur. Specimens measure 
from °8 to 1-0 in length, and from °59 to -7 in breadth.
