Eggs of the South Indian Sky-Lark resemble those of A. gulgula 

 and, as in that species, vary considerably in colour and markings. 

 The ground-colour is white, greyish-white, greenish-white, or pale 

 buff; and the surface-markings vary from brown to grey-brown, 

 yellowish-brown, olive-brown, and lilac-brown. One egg is greenish- 

 yellow, indistinctly clouded with greyish, another is pinkish-white, 

 thickly, but obscurely, clouded with lilac-grey. They vary in size 

 from -78 to '9 in length, and from -58 to -65 in breadth.
