Class: Aves
Order: Apodiformes
Family: Trochilidae
Genus: Leucolia

L. wagneri
Binomial name
Leucolia wagneri
(Phillips, AR, 1966)

It is found, inland from the Pacific coast, in the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico.[2]

This species was formerly placed in the genus Amazilia. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Amazilia was polyphyletic.[3] In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, the cinnamon-sided hummingbird was one of three species to be placed in the resurrected genus Leucolia.[4][5]

Some taxonomic authorities (including the American Ornithological Society consider conspecific with the green-fronted hummingbird (Leucolia viridifrons), while others consider it distinct.
