Incolornis

possibly "inhabitant bird"

• incola · Latin · inhabitant
• ornis · Greek · bird

The name appears to combine the Latin "incola" (inhabitant) with the Greek "ornis" (bird), so it would mean "inhabitant bird". I am not certain of the exact reason the authors chose it.

Period

Late Cretaceous

Found in

Bissekty Formation, Uzbekistan

Incolornis is a small fossil bird known from fragmentary remains in Central Asia. Birds are avian dinosaurs, so it counts as a dinosaur in the cladistic sense. I'm not confident of the naming author, year, exact stage or etymology, so I have left those fields blank or hedged. Please check them against a primary source.
