It depends on what you mean by small. There are so many species of birds that lay white eggs that it is nearly impossible to tell based on that alone. If you can guess how big it is, that will narrow down the possibilities. A hummingbird lays eggs that are a little bit bigger than peas. A small songbird, such as a cardinal, oriole, or a bunting, should lay an egg only slightly larger than a marble. If you can figure out the habitat, such as the tree it was laid in, how high off of the ground it was, whether it was laid in a forest, meadow, near a pond, or in a city, that will also help you to determine the species. Lastly, can you see the nest? If so, does it look like a bunch of sticks thrown together or a nice, neatly woven bundle? One other thing you can do is keep an eye on the nest in hopes of seeing the mother or father bird. You should at least be able to narrow it down to a couple of species.

Not in cardinals. In this case, the speckled egg likely belongs to a cowbird--this is a brood parasite species which will lay its eggs in other birds' nests, and allow the host bird to raise their young for them. The white eggs belong to the host species.
