The Pale-eyed Thrush is a South American thrush, characterized by its rather plain, dark plumage and a subtle pale eye-ring or iris, which gives it its name.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and foothill forests, often in dense undergrowth, across parts of northern South America (e.g., Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador).
How to spot
Look in the mid-story and understory of dense forests. Its pale eye can be a subtle but useful field mark. Listening for its calls may help in detection.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active during the cooler parts of the day.
