Nonnula amaurocephala

  • 20.1 × 16.7 mm (estimated)
  • Speculative: we haven't found a description of this egg (a source we checked reports it as undescribed), so we estimated its colours and markings and its size from related birds.
Breeds in Brazil

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