Unidentified Bird's Egg: What species of bird did this egg come from?

[GammaGlobulin]

Dear Folks,

 

One of the pleasures of living in Northern Thailand is witnessing the varied species of exotic birds one can see and hear.

 

I love birds.

Always have.

 

Sometimes, a bird will fall from its nest, and this is tragic.

 

And, at other times, a bird’s egg will fall from the nest, but still remain intact.

 

I just momentarily came across this SPECKLED bird’s egg, a photo of which I have posted here.

Surprisingly, this egg is still in one piece after its fall.

I discovered this SPECKLED egg earlier this evening.

 

If only I had an incubator, I could keep this egg warm enough so that it might hatch.

And then, it might be easier to identify which bird laid this egg.

 

Since I have no incubator in my home, can someone please help me to identify it, just by way of their own expertise in the field of ornithology?

 

Sometimes, the local cats will attack bird nests and eggs will drop to the ground. My guess is that this is what happened, THIS time…

 

Also, I suggest that all cat owners attach bells to their cats so that birds will less easily fall prey to house cats.

 

So then…

What is your guess?

Which species of bird laid this egg, would you imagine?

 

Thanking you in advance….

 

Best regards,

Gamma

 

Note: When I was in school, many years ago, I most enjoyed our classes concerning biological reproduction.  Maybe you did, too?

Do you have an image to upload of the Hog Plumb Bird, then?
