Eggs of the Lapland Bunting are of a somewhat narrow and 
pointed oval shape and moderately glossy. The coloration is very 
variable. In one type the ground-colour varies from pale grey to 
pale brown, and is almost completely concealed by confluent clouds 
and smears of yellowish-brown, liver-brown or dull reddish-brown, 
over which are to be seen spots, short lines and scrawls of deep 
chocolate-brown. In another type the ground-colour is decidedly 
greenish, blotched and clouded with lilac-grey and also marked 
with spots and scrawls of rich purplish-brown, chiefly at the broad 
end. Ina third type, which appears to be rare, the ground-colour 
is greenish-grey, and the whole shell is thickly speckled with light 
greenish-brown. Intermediate forms also occur. They measure 
from -74 to ‘9 in length, and from -57 to ‘68 in breadth.
