They are unusual--especially in their coat color--it gives good camouflage.

That's a cool little creature!
Looks like a mix between a bird and a monkey. Have you tried running this through Noise Ninja or something?

No noise editing-this image was shot through glass --that might account for the strange background.

I looked up pygmy marmosets on the internet just to check---here is an excerpt
Pygmy marmosets are the worldβs smallest true monkeys. (The smallest primate is the pygmy mouse lemur.) Pygmy marmosets are not sexually dimorphic. Adults are about five inches (13 cm) long with an eight-inch (20 cm) tail and weigh four to seven ounces (113 to 199 g). The fur is buff and gray with yellow and green striations, which give it a grizzled effect on the head and back and a vague banded effect on the tail. They have long hair on their heads and chests giving the appearance of a mane. Their coloration provides great camouflage for their lives in the trees.
The color is subtle, but is emphasized when light hits their fur--unique, isn't it?

Thanks for your comment---there could be a bit of noise--this was shot at ISO 800 because it was dark and I wanted to make sure I had an appropriate shutter speed to freeze the action on this active little monkey. I was happy with the overall look of the background though--

The Woodland Park Zoo was the very first place I ever saw a Pygmy and that was like, thirteen years ago.
He's absolutely darling -- priceless shot.

These little guys are really cute. They were playing on the branch in some good loight, so making the image was pretty easy, just took a little time catching them in the right position.

...And holding your breath that they'll stay there.
Very nice.
