Once upon a time there was an ornithologist working on Cuckoo-shrikes
  as a Family and he called them all Graybirds.
I assume he was American.  Only problem, he found a Black Graybird 
somewhere, no grey on it. Not a bad name generally though.
Or what is wrong with the generic Coracina?  Easier to pronounce than 
Gerygone.  Meanwhile, I have known the BFCS as Bifcus since I was
twelve.
