Eggs of the Black-browed Tree-Pie are of an oval shape and 
very slightly glossy. They are very Shrike-like in appearance. 
The ground is cream-colour, sometimes tinged with greenish, and 
spotted and blotched with yellowish- or reddish-umber-brown and 
lilac-grey, the markings being mostly concentrated in a heavy ring 
or cap round the larger end. Six eggs vary in length from 1-06 to 
1:16, and in breadth trom °78 to ‘86. 
Mr. Stuart Baker says that eggs of this species can nearly all be 
matched with eggs of D. rufa or D. himalayensis, but are on the 
whole more richly marked.
