The Spectacled Thrush occurs in the Lesser Antilles and parts of South America, including Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil. It uses open places with trees and shrubs to search for fruit and small prey.
A bare yellow-orange ring surrounds each eye, and the bill is yellowish. The upperparts are grayish olive, while the underparts are brownish gray with dusky throat streaks. The sexes look alike, although adult females have slightly paler underparts.
It is mostly arboreal but also forages on the ground for small invertebrates and earthworms. It eats fruit, berries and insects, and uses orchards, gardens and savannas with trees or shrubs.
