The Inagua woodstar (Nesophlox lyrura ) is a species of hummingbird. It was previously considered a subspecies of the Bahama woodstar before being split by the NACC of the AOU in 2015. It is endemic to Inagua in the Bahamas.
This species was formerly placed in the genus Calliphlox. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus Calliphlox was polyphyletic. In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, the Inagua woodstar was moved to the resurrected genus Nesophlox.
The bird itself is quite small, with long, forked tail feathers. Males have brilliant purple iridescent foreheads and throats, and females have orange on their flanks and edges of their tail feathers. Their calls are a series of harsh 'tit' or 'tit-it' notes. Males often use their tails as a percussive instrument in flight.
