Spectacled Thrush

Turdus nudigenis Lafresnaye, 1848

Turdidae — Thrushes

Spectacled Thrush, Turdus nudigenis, is a thrush of the Lesser Antilles and northern Amazonia in South America. Lafresnaye described it in 1848. It breeds in those parts of its range and is a resident bird there. The species is also known as bare-eyed thrush and yellow-eyed thrush, and in Trinidad and Tobago it is called big-eye grieve. It belongs to the family Turdidae and the order Passeriformes. A similar bird, the Ecuadorian thrush, was once treated as part of this species but is now usually recognised separately.
