The eggs of the Yellow-breasted Bunting are mostly of a broad 
oval form and have a considerable amount of gloss. They are very 
variable. Some are quite inseparable from eggs of L. schaniclus. 
Others are greyish-green, blotched and smeared with two shades of 
olive-brown, and some underlying lavender-grey, and with some 
spots and short lines of deep brown or black. Others again are 
purplish-grey marked with spots, specks, and lines of deep purplish- 
brown and clouds and smears of lilac-grey. They measure from ‘72 
to °85 in length, and from °58 to ‘62 in breadth.
