A bit difficult given the amount of variation in bird eggs (even amongst the same species), and more difficult without exact measurements.

@Paul4K could you give some idea of scale?

~25mm long and ~15mm wide, unfortunately not in my possession but could probably get the finder to get more accurate dimensions.
