Description

Primate hunted for bushmeat, encountered roadside near large logging town.

Not 100% confident of species ID, but I think C. mona is correct. According to my Kingdon guide, this location is near (or in) the hybrid zone of C. m. mona and C. m. pogonias. But C. m. mona looks correct.

Description from Wikipedia

The Mona Monkey (Cercopithecus mona) is an Old World monkey that lives throughout western Africa. The Mona Monkey can also be found on the island of Grenada as it was transported to the island aboard slave ships headed to the New World during the 18th century. This guenon lives in groups of up to 35 in arboreal regions. It mainly feeds on fruit but sometimes eats insects and leaves.
