Pampa is a genus of birds in the hummingbird family Trochilidae. These species are resident in northern Middle America.

Species

The genus contains three species. ^[1]

Genus Pampa – Reichenbach, 1854 – three species

Common name	Scientific name and subspecies	Range	Size and ecology	IUCN status and estimated population
Curve-winged sabrewing	Pampa curvipennis (Deppe, 1830)	Mexico from San Luis Potosí south to Veracruz and Oaxaca	Size: Habitat: Diet:	LC
Wedge-tailed sabrewing	Pampa pampa (Lesson, 1832)	Belize, Guatemala, Mexico, and possibly Honduras	Size: Habitat: Diet:	LC
Rufous sabrewing	Pampa rufa (Lesson, 1840)	El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico.	Size: Habitat: Diet:	LC

These three species were formerly placed in the genus Campylopterus . A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus Campylopterus was polyphyletic. ^[2] In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, these species were moved to the resurrected genus Pampa that had been introduced in 1854 by Ludwig Reichenbach. ^{[1] [3]}
