Chondrohierax is a genus of birds of prey in the family Accipitridae. Its two members, the hook-billed kite (C. uncinatus) and the Cuban kite (C. wilsonii), are often[when?] considered[who?] to be conspecific.[citation needed] The hook-billed kite is widespread in the warmer parts of the Americas, while the Cuban kite is a critically endangered Cuban endemic.
