I took this picture at the zoo. This is an "Orange-Faced-Monkey". Not sure what this species of monkey is called. I captured this at the Brevard County Zoo here in Melbourne, FL. As you can see, he is very photogenic. His little baby is sitting right next to him. They don't get dark/orange until they are full grown.

Editor's Note: We looked up the name and it is a Golden Headed Lion Tamarin. They are from the lowlands of Brazil and are an endangered species. Nice photo Shannon!
