The eggs of the Spotted Flycatcher vary from a narrow to a broad 

 oval shape, and are moderately glossy. The ground-colour ranges 

 from cream-colour to bluish white, pale blue or greenish blue, and 

 this is spotted, blotched, and clouded with various shades of 

 reddish brown and underlying grey or lavender. Some examples 

 are marked with distinct, well-defined blotches ; others with con- 

 fluent markings which nearly entirely hide the ground-colour. 

 In most cases the markings are dense at the broad end, where 

 they often form a cap or very irregular zone. Specimens measure 

 from -67 to -8 in length, and from '52 to 6 in breadth.
