Brachygalba salmoni

  • 22.4 × 18.8 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 Panama, Colombia

Plain white, very glossy, nearly round, as in all jacamar eggs (we haven't found a description of this species' own egg yet).
