The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims

Carl R. Kuehner III (b.1963) is a Director of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. He is a businessman, a real estate developer in Connecticut and a philanthropist. He graduated with a business degree (1982) and joined his father's company, taking over when his father retired. He is Chief Executive Officer and President, Building and Land Technology Corporation; he was formerly Chairman of BNC Financial Group and the Bank of New Canaan. Philanthropy is something of a family trait as his mother set up a humanitarian charity following the earthquake in Haiti, delivering $30m in aid; his daughter now runs that organisation. He was honoured in the finch's binomial for '...his longstanding engagement and dedication to fish and wildlife in the United States.'
The Key to Scientific Names
Paul Kuehner (fl. 2013) US ornithologist, conservationist (Arremon).

Isn't it now a synonym to Arremon brunneinucha suttoni (Parkes, 1954)? So I think the key is clearly wrong. No idea what the middle name may.
