The eggs of the Pine-Bunting are of a broad oval form and 

 moderately glossy. They are pinkish cream-colour, profusely marked 

 with dots, specks, streaks and fine lines of rich purplish-brown. On 

 some specimens the lines are short and, as a rule, very fine ; on 

 others they are long, forming loops and knots and often encircling 

 the egg. The underlying markings, which are faint and in- 

 conspicuous, consist of small smears and spots of lilac-grey. The 

 eggs measure from '78 to '87 in length, and from '6 to '68 in 

 breadth.
