Looks like some kind of Spotnose.

I'm pretty sure this is in the small primate house, back when it was new.

If I remember correctly, there were Schmidt’s guenons Cercopithecus ascanius schmidti in this building shortly after it opened.

That would fit with the yellow nose spot and reddish tail. It certainly looks like some form of C. ascanius.

You are correct Tim have checked my old photos of Dudley and I have a photo of one of these monkeys and I have listed as Schmidt’s guenons Cercopithecus ascanius schmidti.
