I think maybe a Geoffroy's spider monkey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffroy%27...

This is a Brown spider:

Carolina, what about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Spide...

Aileen, was this taken in a zoo? Spider monkey's are mostly indigenous to South America.

No, not a brown woolly. But you're right looks like an Atelidae.
