speckle + -y

Adjective

speckly (comparative more speckly, superlative most speckly)

  1. speckled; marked with speckles
    • 1889, Allan O. Hume, The Nests and Eggs of Indian Birds, Volume 1:
      In some eggs the markings are very dense towards the large end, in others they are pretty uniformly distributed over the whole surface; in some they are very minute and speckly, in others they average the tenth of an inch in diameter.
    • 1913, Stephen Graham, A Tramp's Sketches:
      The clouds hung unevenly over the climbing mountains, so that far snow-bestrewn headlands looked like the speckly backs of monsters stalking up into the sky.
    • April 3 2010, Huffington Post - Fresh Eggs, Grace, Rebirth, & Popovers
      Sometimes they're just brown and speckly; sometimes they're pointy, sometimes petite. But always their yolks are plump and perky and marigold-yellow.
