Varied white-fronted capuchin

The varied white-fronted capuchin (Cebus versicolor) is a species of gracile capuchin monkey from Colombia.

It had been classified as a subspecies of the white-fronted capuchin (C. albifrons)[2] Genetic analysis by Jean Boubli in 2012 revealed it to be a separate species.

[3][4] Some authors regard the Río Cesar white-fronted capuchin to be a subspecies of the varied white-fronted capuchin.

[4] The varied white-fronted capuchin lives in lowland moist forest and in palm swamps in the Río Magdalena Valley of northern Colombia.

[4] It has a dark brown crown on its head contrasting with light fur on the temples, forehead, chin, throat and on the sides of its face and neck.
