Eggs of the South Indian Sky-Lark resemble those of A. gulgula 
and, as in that species, vary considerably in colour and markings. 
The ground-colour is white, greyish-white, greenish-white, or pale 
buff; and the surface-markings vary from brown to grey-brown, 
yellowish-brown, olive-brown, and lilac-brown. One egg is greenish- 
yellow, indistinctly clouded with greyish, another is pinkish-white, 
thickly, but obscurely, clouded with lilac-grey. They vary in size 
from *78 to °9 in length, and from °58 to °65 in breadth.
