Taken just outside Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais in 2006.
From what I understand, in English their name is “black tufted marmoset” or “black-tufted tamarin”.
In Brazil tiny little monkeys like these are all referred to as a mico (which made the name of Pocahontas’ raccoon - Meeko - really confusing for me as a kid).
This specific kind is known as a mico estrela (star mico, due to the little star on its forehead).
