The eggs of the Brown Hill-Warbler are typically of an elongated 

 oval shape. The majority are highly glossy; some are nearly 

 devoid of all gloss. They are white or cream-coloured, often tinged 

 with pink, speckled and blotched with chestnut and pale grey. 

 The markings at the broad end are generally dense and confluent, 

 forming a well-defined zone at that part. Specimens measure from 

 65 to '75 in length, and from *46 to '55 in breadth.
