Haplophaedia is a small genus of hummingbirds, which – together with the members of the genus Eriocnemis – are known as pufflegs. They are found at low levels in humid forest, woodland and shrub at altitudes of Template:Cvt in the Andes of Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. All species have a straight black bill, a coppery-green plumage, and a slightly forked dark blue tail. The leg-puffs are white in the greenish and hoary pufflegs, and buff-tinged in the buff-thighed puffleg.

Species

Three species are currently recognized,[1] though the buff-thighed puffleg is sometimes considered a subspecies of the greenish puffleg.
