Eggs of the Red-headed Bunting closely resemble those of 

 E. melanocephala. They are of a broad oval shape and have a con- 

 siderable amount of gloss. The ground-colour is very faint bluish- 

 white, minutely speckled or spotted all over with umber-brown and 

 underlying lilac-grey, the markings in some specimens forming an 

 irregular wreath round the broad end. They measure from -78 to 

 90 in length, and from -57 to '63 in breadth.
