Description
The white-eyed thrush is 23 to 24 cm (9.1 to 9.4 in) long and weighs about 59 g (2.1 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a mostly reddish brown head with a white eye-ring and a white chin and throat streaked with chestnut-brown. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are slate gray. Their underparts are mostly pale gray-brown with a white crescent between the throat and breast and a white vent area. They have a dark iris, a blackish bill, and blackish legs and feet. Juveniles are similar to adults but with heavy darker streaks on the breast.

The white-eyed thrush is found across most of Jamaica, shunning only the lowest areas. It inhabits wet forest in the foothills and mountains, other woodlands, and shade coffee plantations. In elevation it ranges from about 100 m (300 ft) up to the highest points on the island.
