The eggs of the Grey-headed Flycatcher are of a broad oval form 

 and moderately glossy. They are cream-coloured, blotched and 

 clouded with pale brown and dark lavender-grey, densely over the 

 larger half of the egg where the markings assume the form of a 

 broad and more or less well-defined zone, and sparingly elsewhere. 

 On the whole, they resemble the common type of egg of the llhipi- 

 dura group. They measure from '58 to '65 in length, and from '46 

 to *5 in breadth.

 and slightly glossy. Two specimens in the Collection are white, 

 spotted and blotched with umber-brown and purplish grey in a well-

 but the zone is barely indicated, the markings being pale brown and 

 lavender and distributed more or less over the whole shell. Three 

 examples measure respectively : *83 by *6 ; *8 by '6 ; '73 by '57.
