Eggs of the Eastern Grey Wagtail appear to be of two types : 

 -the first resembles that of the Common Grey Wagtail, having a 

 cream-coloured or whitish ground mottled, sometimes very faintly, 

 with yellowish-brown. A specimen taken in Kashmir represents 

 a second type, in which the ground-colour is pinkish, mottled 

 with a darker shade of the same. Taozanowski states {op. dt.) 

 that some eggs of this species taken in Siberia are tinged with 

 rose-colour. No such tint is observable in any European egg of 

 the Western form.
