Trachypithecus cristatus
Very common in Malaysia, when are young has a characteristic orange color: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/302...
The silvery lutung (Trachypithecus cristatus), also known as the silvered leaf monkey or the silvery langur, is an Old World monkey. It is arboreal, living in coastal, mangrove, and riverine forests in Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo. Can be easily seen in many parks and forests reserves in MALAYSIA, even in the center of Kulala Lumpur, in Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve, the only virgin tropical rain forest left in the city. The city planners are dedicated to preserving this jungle located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Originally home of the Malayan Tiger and elephants, this jungle is still home to monkeys, pythons, squirrels, and monitor lizards.
