Zentrygon lawrencii

  • 29.7 × 22.4 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 Costa Rica, Panama

Plain white, as in all pigeon and dove eggs (we haven't found a description of this species' own egg yet).
