A female Pale-eyed thrush was captured by a group of ornithologists of the Yale University Peabody Museum, working near the top of the Tafelberg in September 2009. Among them John Mittermeier (photograph) and Krystow Zyskowski. The Pale-eyed Thrush has never before been noticed in Suriname. This female has a grey belly and dull yellow legs, she strongly resembles the female Yellow-legged thrush, but has no yellow eye-ring. It is usually very shy and is found at higher elevations. Maybe it moves around seasonally, as in Venezuela it was not collected in September and October(cf. Steven Hily)
