Dutch: Goudkopleeuwaapje

Looks deceptively like the Golden Marmoset/Golden Lion Tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia - Gouden Leeuwaapje), but a different species, also from the northern part of South America

Golden Lion Tamarins have a different hairdo and a bigger (blackish) 'beard'. Some images of them HERE
