I don't know what species of monkey this is, but I think I've seen him rendered as the face of a monkey god in an African or Chinese pantheon. He strikes me as a playful sort (surprise for a monkey).
I challenge my readers to identify this monkey. No doubt Sun-Wukong will bless you for naming one of his lesser cousins.
UPDATE: Someone has identified this monkey, but, ironically, has failed to ID him/herself. Thank you anonymous - it looks as though this is a Colubus Monkey.

I dub him: Permokisseyface!
