Eggs of the Horned Lark are of a pointed oval shape and are 
distinctly glossy. They are greenish-white, profusely freckled all 
over with greenish-grey or pale olive-brown, with traces of pale 
lavender underlying the other markings. Some specimens exhibit 
a few black specks and fine lines on the broad end. The markings 
are often very dense at this end, and form a well-defined confluent 
zone. Specimens measure from ‘86 to ‘98 in length, and from °6 
to °68 in breadth.

Eggs of the European Horned Lark are indistinguishable from 
those of the typical North-American form, 0. alpestris, both in 
colour and size. They measure from °85 to 1:03 in length, and 
from 6 to ‘65 in breadth.
