Hi Bob.. as your spotting is definitely not even a monkey, plus 4 rangers now agree with Lisa's original suggestion and comments re range, I have changed the ID for you. Thanks.

Then why did you go with species suggestion for an animal that does not even occur in the country of observation? It clearly matches the coati which is native. :-(
