Weekly Photo

Well everyone can see this is some kind of monkey.
But I could use some help on this one.
The fact is I lost my notes on this picture and I don't know what species this is.
If anyone can help please step forward.

Is it really little and has a greenish tinge?

If it is, we have it, I don't know 'species' but we call it 'sakiwinki'. A lot of folks have them as pets.

GG: Small, very long tail, most of fur is golden-yellow, tail slightly darker, almost brown, white chest. No greenish tinge though. Hardly ever stopped moving, this is the only picture I managed to take. It was in a Zoo, so the local doesn't help a lot.

GG: You're right, I mean at least it seems to me you are. I've looked for those you mentioned, the Brazillians call them Saimiri. The description says greenish hair and it seems grayish-brown to me, so it probably is the same monkey. Thank you very much.

Hey that's my cousin's boyfriend Poochie. He's a West Indian Bananna Monkey who drinks too much beer and quotes old Ice T lyrics.

Good to see your still doing your thing D.

Curious George? Hey, it's worth a shot since he's the only monkey I am familiar with :)

lovan: Welcome and thank you. That seems to be the same species GG mentioned. I tried to take a peek at your blog, but sadly I can't read Swedish.

Madame Em: Huuummm... don't think so. But I was the ignorant here to start with. :)

At the risk of being un-original, I must say that I do recognize that monkey. I believe that is my sister, Jamiekins Somethingorsorus.

Bunny Jo: If you are right, and if Icy is right too, then Jamie is Icy's cousin's boyfriend... such a small world!
