The white-throated wedgebill or western wedge-billed hummingbird (Schistes albogularis) is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is sometimes merged with the visorbearers in Augastes. It is found in western Colombia and Ecuador. It has been split from the Geoffroy's wedgebill by most taxonomic authorities. Some authorities, including the American Ornithological Society, continue to lump both species together, calling them the wedge-billed hummingbird. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
