Eggs of Dupont’s Lark are of a rather broad, slightly-pointed, oval 
shape and are somewhat glossy. The ground-colour varies from 
white or greenish-white to pale buff, and is spotted and blotehed, 
sometimes densely, with yellowish-brown and dull lavender-grey. 
The markings, as a rule, are heaviest towards the larger end, where 
they occasionally form a more or less irregular zone. They measure 
from -91 to ‘97 in length, and from 66 to °7 in breadth.
