It doesn't look like a brown woolly monkey to me

This looks to me like it may be a Black-headed Spider Monkey https://eol.org/pages/323937#!# & #!#https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_primates_of_Colombia#/media/File:Spider_monkey_singapore_zoo_1.JPG#!# & #!#https://twycrosszoo.org/animals/black-headed-spider-monkey/ Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

The Black-headed spider monkey

The black-headed spider monkey (Ateles fusciceps) is a species of spider monkey, a type of New World monkey, from Central and South America. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama.[2] Although primatologists such as Colin Groves (1989) follow Kellogg and Goldman (1944) in treating A. fusciceps as a separate species, other authors, including Froelich (1991), Collins and Dubach (2001) and Nieves (2005) treat it as a subspecies of Geoffroy's spider monkey.
