Are you sure this isn't Dusky Titi, Callicebus moloch? The zoo held/holds the species in Amazonia and I've only ever heard of Coppery Titi, Callicebus cupreus, being held in Europe.
The titi in both this picture, and the other one that's been linked to this thread, is C. cupreus. ISIS had the National Zoo's titis identified as moloch, but the New World Primate TAG is confident that they are cupreus. Any titis that are not donacophilus (white-eared) are going to be cupreus.

2009 New World Primate TAG RCP. So the information is from a few years ago, but I haven't heard of anything new that has come to light so I assume it's still accurate.
Additionally, the colony at UC Davis was once classified as moloch as well, but they changed their identification to cupreus. So I'm unsure if there are or ever was moloch in the US.

UC Davis and the San Antonio Zoo both karyotyped their animals, and they matched up with cupreus but not moloch or brunneus. The ones at San Antonio were directly descended from the ones at the National Zoo, and the UC Davis colony is descended from the same founding group.
