The eggs of the Andalusian Short-toed Lark are of a pointed oval 
shape and moderately glossy. Five are pure white, spotted and 
blotched, especially at the broad end where the markings form an 
irregular zone, with lair-brown or pale yellowish-brown, and pale 
underlying lavender. ‘Three examples are greenish-white, more or 
less freckled with olive-brown and lilac, and resemble the common 
type of egg laid by Calandrella brachydactyla. Hight examples 
measure from ‘73 to °8 in length, and from °55 to -59 in breadth.
