The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:
There is not much doubt (at least from me) that it is the correct guy. I was just confused about the cf. Anatoliy Petrovich Bogdanov (1834-1896). Why is he mentioned if no bird is named after him?
As well did Anatoliy Petrovich Bogdanov describe any bird or all from Modest Nikolaevich Bogdanov?

Professor Modest Nikolaevich Bogdanov (1841–1888), a Russian zoologist and ornithologist, was supervisor of the ornithological collection at St Petersburg Museum (1879– 1885). He carried out a meticulous inventory, identifying all the species, and produced a monograph, Shrikes of Russian Fauna and Allies (1881). He also prepared the first issue of the Checklist of the Birds of the Russian Empire (1884). A mammal is named after him.
