Eggs of the Field-Sparrow are of much the same typeas those of 
S. monticola, but are more delicately marked. The ground-colour 
is faint greenish-white, densely speckled on the broader half and 
sparingly on the smaller half with dull brick-red and lilac-grey. 
The markings sometimes form a cap at the broad end. The eggs 
measure from ‘65 to ‘75 in length, and from ‘5 to °6 in breadth.
