Mick,
Of course both are called Gray-... in Clemets. However the South American species is called the Gray-hooded, while the Asian is Gray-headed.
Howard & Moore follow the same names, though they become Gray-hooded and Grey-headed (they accepted American spelling for Nearctic and Neotropical species in one of the Corrigenda).
Cheers,
Peter

There are a number pseudonyms for the South American one, though I don't know how Clements deals with these spp.
