On reviewing a few photos I think this might actually be a hairy saki; P. hirsuta.

It looks like they've been distorted, but I've uploaded photos of Isabel's saki, and Rylands' bald-faced saki for you:






Less distorted versions of these photos have now been uploaded.

And that is the Atelidae - and hence the New World Monkeys as a whole - completed :) not a bad showing really, with the only major gaps being found within the howler monkey complex:

Coiba Island Howler Alouatta coibensis
Ursine Howler Alouatta arctoidea
Spix's Red-handed Howler Alouatta discolor
Juruá Red Howler Alouatta juara
Guyanan Red Howler Alouatta macconnelli
Amazon Black Howler Alouatta nigerrima
Purus Red Howler Alouatta puruensis
Maranhão Red-handed Howler Alouatta ululata
Northern Muriqui Brachyteles hypoxanthus
Yellow-tailed Woolly Monkey Oreonax flavicauda

My next major project where the mammalian photographic guides are concerned will be the Afrotheria.
