The dusky hummingbird (Phaeoptila sordida) is a species of hummingbird of the family Trochilidae. It is the only species placed in the genus Phaeoptila.
The dusky hummingbird is endemic to Mexico. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland.
This species was formerly placed in the genus Cynanthus. Based on a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 the dusky hummingbird was moved to the resurrected genus Phaeoptila that had been introduced in 1861 by John Gould.[2][3][4]
