The [[specific name (zoology)|specific epithet]] commemorates the American ornithologist [[Andrew Jackson Grayson]]. ''Mimus graysoni'' shows its close relationship to the [[northern mockingbird|northern]] and [[tropical mockingbird]]s rather subtly. It is a much stouter bird, resembling some [[thrasher]]s in [[Morphology (biology)|habitus]]. It also has a distinct [[Juvenile (organism)|juvenile]] plumage, more rufous above and has a heavy pattern, especially below. This uncannily resembles, e.g., the [[gray thrasher]] (''Toxostoma cinereum'') from [[Baja California]],<ref name = b&h1953/> but is apparently a case of [[convergent evolution]].<ref name = barberetal2004/>
