Eggs of the Eield-Sparrow are of much the same type as those of 

 S. monticola, but are more delicately marked. The ground-colour 

 is faint greenish-white, densely speckled on the broSider half and 

 sparingly on the smaller half with dull brick-red and lilac-grey. 

 The markings sometimes form a cap at the broad end. The eggs 

 measure from -65 to -75 in length, and from -5 to -6 in breadth.
