Incolornis (meaning "inhabitant bird") is an extinct genus of basal birds from the Late Cretaceous (Coniacian, 89–86 mya). Remains have been found in the Bissekty Formation in Uzbekistan.[1] It is only known from fragmentary coracoids. The systematic position of the genus is unclear; it might have been an enantiornithine bird.
