The eggs of the Crimson-winged Laughing-Thrush vary from a 

 narrow to a broad oval form, and they have a large amount of 

 gloss. The ground-colour is of a pale blue, and this is sparingly 

 marked with an infinite variety of spots, blotches, dashes, scrawls, 

 and hieroglyphie-like lines of chocolate-brown, reddish brown and 

 black. Intermingled with these are some small underlying spots 

 of pale purple. Although the markings are larger and more 

 n-umerous at the large end than elsewhere, there is no general 

 tendency for these to coalesce and form a cap. The eggs measure 

 from '98 to 1*15 in length, and from *7 to '82 in breadth.
