speckly
Covered in flecks
Speckly describes something covered with or characterized by speckles—small spots, dots, or flecks of color scattered across a surface.
It's an informal variant of speckled, often used in casual speech to describe anything from speckly eggs to speckly fabric.
The word carries a slightly playful or diminutive quality compared to its more standard counterpart.
