With about two minutes left in my trip to Peru, I finally saw the moustached tamarin. I only got one shot before it quickly bounded further into the forest. This guy obviously gets its name from the white mustache around the face (or moustache, as they spell it in the rest of the world). Their range spills over the border of Peru and into Amazonian Brazil and Bolivia. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1600, f/8 at 1/60th of a second, Godox V860iii fill flash with Better Beamer extender.

What an unusual looking critter. Glad you were able to get a shot, Sean!
Thanks Sue. I really had to work for the images on this trip but well worth it.
Cuteness!
Nothing like mustachioed monkey.
I needed a chuckle today and you delivered it! I can only think of Wilford Brimley at this moment. This looks like a very charming fellow.
Ha, yes, I can see that.
