Description General Info
Description
The spectacled thrush is 23–24 cm long and weighs 60 g. It is plain olive-brown above and paler brown below. The throat is brown-streaked off-white, and the lower belly is whitish. It has a prominent yellow eye ring which gives rise to its English and scientific names. There are two poorly defined subspecies, differing mainly in the darkness of the plumage. Sexes are similar, but young birds are flecked above and spotted below, and have a thinner eye ring. The song is a musical warble, slower and lower pitched than that of the cocoa thrush (T. fumigatus), and it also produces a cat-like queeoow call and, when uncomfortable, emits a kereel.

Spectacled Thrush primarily feasts on berries, fruits, and a variety of invertebrates, such as caterpillars, beetles, moths, and earthworms, showcasing opportunistic feeding behavior and dietary adaptability.
Habitat
The spectacled Thrush thrives in various environments, typically frequenting secondary forests, semi-open regions, and scrubby areas spangled with groves. This species is adapted to a mix of natural and human-modified landscapes, including clearings, shade coffee plantations, citrus groves, and the edges of woodlands. Spectacled Thrush can also be found in ornamental gardens, parks, and even urban areas rich in trees. Its preferred elevation ranges up to 1600 meters in Colombia and 1800 meters in Venezuela, although it is most common below 1000 meters.
