The eggs of the Spotted Sandpiper are typically pyriform, but 

 many approach a regular oval shape. They have a considerable 

 amount of gloss. The' ground varies from cream -colour to pale 

 buff, and this is spotted and blotched with dark chocolate-brown or 

 black, and some underlying inky purple. The spots are small and 

 numerous ; the blotches are large and frequently confluent over the 

 broad end, where they form in many cases an irregular cap. The 

 eggs measure from 1/2 to 1'35 in length, and from -9 to 1-02 in 

 breadth.
