The eggs of the White-capped Bunting are of a regular oval 

 form and moderately glossy. The ground-colour is white, tinged 

 with blue or grey, and thickly mottled with purplish-grey, over 

 which are scattered many spots and blotches of very deep reddish- 

 or purplish-brown. Both the grey underlying and the brown 

 surface-markings are very evenly spread over the entire shell, and 

 there is no tendency whatever to the formation of a cap at the 

 broad end. Specimens measure from "7 to "8 in length, and from 

 •57 to -61 in breadth.
