Gabon talapoin - Belo Horizonte zoo

Gabon talapoin (Miopithecus ogouensis) at Belo Horizonte zoo. The institution houses a couple of these primates.
@lintworm They are new in the place, so there wasn't a sign yet for them. In Brazil we call both Miopithecus talapoin and Miopithecus agouensis the same name, wich is Macaco talapoin. Got a little conftused because of that. Thanks for the correction :D What are the differences between them?
 
M. talapoin has very prominent black facial skin around the eyes and a black nose and ears. Most pictures on google images are also misidentified, below is a real M. talapoin.
