Monkeys - Roatan Island, Belize and Panama - Feb 2024 (1 Viewer)

Having a bit of a problem identifying these two monkeys seen the above locations respectively.

I'd be grateful for your help.

TIA

Andy

065 is a Howler, the other must be a Spider Monkey.

 

[Welsh Peregrine]

Indeed, Spider Monkey and Howler Monkey respectively.

 

[Welsh Peregrine]

Should therefore be Geoffroy’s Spider Monkey and Mantled Howler Monkey (but check the ranges to be sure).

Thanks for your help everyone.

Locations are a bit confusing as Roatan is in Honduras, not Belize. Are the two photos from Roatan and Panama respectively, or Roatan and Belize?
That could impact the ID of the howler monkey

My apologies for adding unnecessary confusion. The first one (3733) was taken in Costa Maya which is in fact Mexico on the eastern side of the Yucatan peninsula. The second shot was in Panama

Species ID as per Welsh Peregrine’s post above then
Cheers
