Genus ABRORNIS, Hodgs. 



The eggs of the Flycatchers of this genus are of a broad oval 

 shape and exhibit but little gloss. They are pinkish white in some 

 cases, greenish white in others, and they are densely mottled and 

 blotched with chestnut and lilac, especially at the broad end, where 

 the markings are often confluent and form an imperfect cap or zone. 

 The eggs of the different species are closely alike.
