Allouata palliata
Family of fairly large dark monkeys that were just relaxing in the branches of a big tree. There were 2 males and several females and young ones as far as I could tell.
In the branches of a large tree of to the side of the road leading to Diria National Park. Seasonally dry forest.
The old male felt the need to show off his howling skills as I was taking the pictures. Very loud. I've heard them from a mile away. Higher resolution images can be seen here, https://www.flickr.com/photos/66454855@N...

Thanks for the comments on the pictures, I'm glad you enjoy them.
Nice series..
Beautiful!! I hear them howling everyday but I have never been able to see them, their howling sound so menacing sometimes, specially in the afternoons. Thank you for sharing, Sigg.

What a fantastic series Sigg! The first shot showing the male howling is stunning.
