To those that asked in comments and any who wondered, this is a Cotton Top Tamarin. Found only in Columbia and zoos. It didn't score well here, but it's a very tough shot because these things never sit still. And, to get one looking right down the barrel is truly rare.

If they like to munch on coca leaves it might explain the wild hair-do. Looked great to me. |

You did much better than I did when I tried to photograph some at a local zoo. Not only do they never stop moving, but they are small (about the size of a hand) so unless you are fairly close and can use a wide-angle lens it is a lot like hunting misquitoes with a pellet gun.
Nicely done.

Makes you appreciate the skills of bats and swallows, doesn't it? |
