Pousargues' Monkey

Tana River Primate National Reserve: Pousargues' Monkey, C. albogularis/mitis albotorquatus. July 30, 2023.

Nice photo.

Are these related to Diana monkeys, etc?

@TinoPup Same genus but they are not in the same species group. In general, the Blue Monkeys (C. mitis)--for which Sykes' seem to be increasingly re-lumped in with--are an incredibly variable species/species complex. I can see what you mean about a slight resemblance to Diana/Roloway Monkeys, though.

@ThylacineAlive Blue monkeys are my favorite <3 Mostly because the female at Pittsburgh looks like a little old lady.

@TinoPup The Blue Monkeys in the US, subspecies stuhlmanni (which are undebatably true mitis), are some of my favorite guenons I've ever seen.
