The eggs of the Terek Sandpiper are pyriform, and fairly glossy. 

 The ground-colour is pale olive-buff, marked with spots, streaks, 

 and blotches of dark brown, chocolate-brown or black, with the 

 usual underlying inky purple, the latter colour being rather promi- 

 nent. The markings are decidedly of a streaky character, and they 

 are more frequent and also larger on the broader half than elsewhere. 

 The eggs measure from 1-4 to 1-6 in length, and from -95 to 1-1 in 

 breadth.
