I photographed two species of langur on my recent Thailand trip. The dusky and the banded. This guy is the former, although I had a rough time telling the two apart. My understanding is that the dusky langur is a bit darker in color than the banded. Langurs are also sometimes called leaf monkeys or lutungs. They are small old world monkeys that range throughout Southeast Asia, India and Sri Lanka (depending on the species). Dusky langurs are found in Myanmar, Malaysia and Thailand. This particular dusky langur was in a tree a few feet from my tent in Kaeng Krachan National Park. I was obviously able to get very close for this portrait through the heavy vegetation. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/320th of a second
