Fine, but please do not be confused. You wrote “other cuckoos” (maybe you just forgot a word). Cuckoo-shrikes are most definitely NOT cuckoos or even remotely close, they are passerines (nor are they shrikes). Part of my reason for wanting to abandon the silly group name and start a new group name “Cush” for that genus. The suggested name would retain some of the etymology by being a shortening. Thus Black-faced Cush, Ground Cush, etc. That would remove all confusion and be much simpler.
