You can probably narrow it down by thinking about what kinds of birds you commonly see around your yard. It's not a Robin's egg.

I see lots of (American) Robins around here & sometimes find parts of a Robin's egg in my driveway. Their shells are a pale blue.

Maybe a House Wren? That's the closest I could find in Google images.

One thing I noticed in my search was that birders use coins for size comparisons rather than a ruler; mostly a dime or a quarter. I think the roundness of the coin makes it easier to immediately grasp the size of the egg in a way a ruler doesn't.

Not a criticizing your image, just something that could be useful information.

Comments are invited.

Any help in identifying the bird species would be appreciated.
