Saguinus geoffroyi
I saw this little monkey in Panama City, Panama. He was captive. Is a tamarin, a type of small monkey, found in Panama and Colombia. It is predominantly black and white, with a reddish nape
Tropical forest.
Este mono es conocido en Panamá como Tití. Su nombre científico es Saguinus Geoffroyi
Gracias por el ID, Carolina. Si que era jovencito. Tenia una carita tan bonita..me dio pena que estuviera en una jaula.
I believe this little monkey is in the Callitrichidae family, maybe the Saguinus genus...

Saguinus oedipus or geoffroyi, it looks like a baby.
