The pale-eyed thrush is 19.5 to 23.5 cm (7.7 to 9.3 in) long and weighs 54 to 80 g (1.9 to 2.8 oz). The species is sexually dimorphic. Adult males are almost entirely glossy bluish black with sometimes some white on the chin. They have a bluish white iris and sometimes a pale yellow-orange eye-ring, a bright yellow to orange bill, and bright yellow to orange legs and feet that match the bill. Adult females have mostly olive-brown upperparts. They have faint buff-yellow streaks on the ear coverts and sometimes yellowish buff edges on the primaries. Voice: The pale-eyed thrush's song is a "disjointed, choppy but fine series of short phrases, many high and thin, usually with long pauses, wheero-weet, chup-e, ez-t, e-ta, ti’t, eez, cheur-ez-weet, ééskee, weewee…". Its calls include fragments from its song, "usually wheero-weet", a "high ringing ti-seee", "a descending seeee", and "a rising pit-tsee´ e´ é".
