The eggs of the Indian White-backed Vulture vary from an oval 

 to a nearly spherical shape. The shell is finely granulated and 

 almost devoid of gloss. They are normally white, tinged with very 

 pale yellow or buff. The majority of the eggs are plain ; a few 

 specimens are sparingly spotted and blotched with rufous of various 

 shades, generally at one end only. They measure from 3'05 to 3'85 

 in length, and from 2*25 to 2*8 in breadth.
