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.

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.'
