Fees of the Siberian Jay vary in shape from a long rather 
pointed oval to a very wide oval, and are somewhat glossy. The 
ground is some shade of greenish-white or rarely pale greyish-green, 
spotted and blotched all over, but especially towards the larger 
end where the markings are often confluent and form a zone or 
irregular cap, with umber-brown, ashy-brown and_lilac-grey. 
They vary in length from 1°18 to 1:32, and in breadth from °83 
to ‘93.
