Unknown Capuchin (Austin Zoo)

The zoo mixes elderly tufted capuchins and weeper capuchins. I was unsure of which species this individual was.
I would say by looking at this photo and the zoo's photos this looks like a Wedge-Capped Capuchin (Cebus olivaceus). If not then some sort of hybrid.
 
Doing some research I can’t find a single zoo with them besides the Austin Zoo. Their is a small population kept as pets though. Texas for examples got real lax laws on this. I kinda wish the zoo (which lists how each animal was acquired. These being former pets), would better educate on how monkeys don’t make good pets. But oh well :rolleyes:
