Dendrocincla homochroa

  • 27.6 × 20.3 mm (estimated)
  • Its colour follows its family (the eggs of all its relatives are alike); we haven't found a description of this species' own egg yet. Speculative: we haven't found documented measurements of this egg yet, so we estimated its size from related birds.
Breeds in Mexico, Central America (7 countries) and South America (2 countries)

Central America: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama
South America: Colombia, Venezuela

Plain white or with a faint greenish-blue tinge, unmarked, as in ovenbird and woodcreeper eggs (we haven't found a description of this species' own egg yet).
