The Spectacled Laughingthrush (Yellow-throated) is a medium-sized, somewhat plain-looking laughingthrush, distinguished by a subtle pale eye-ring or spectacles and a yellow wash on the throat. It is a social bird, typically found in small groups foraging in dense undergrowth. This species is endemic to Borneo.
