Even if no clear dedication for Alcippe hueti David, 1874 I can accept what's written in the key that the bird was named for Joseph Huët (1827-1903) means this guy here. His full name is probably Joseph Frédéric Huët but I failed to find his death registration 23 February 1903 in Vacherie-les Andelys. But here p. 21 of 36 only as Joseph his birth date reconstructed.
Maybe the other Huët is here p. 27 of 51 as Nicolas (Giniviere??) Huët? If he was born in 1770 in Louvre as claimed sometimes I am not sure. I have seen Nicolas Huet the Younger (le jeune) 1770-Paris-after 1828 and Nicolas Huet (c. 1770-1830) so I am not sure what the correct dates are. But Touit huetii (Temminck, 1830) is very likely for this artist.
Take it for what's worth.
