I am sure it is tibetan macaque
SheaEckert
You are welcome! I still think it is the tibetan macaque even though he has a brown face. He could be a juvenile or elderly. You have some pretty awesome spottings!!!!

Hello SheaEckert, i've uploaded a colored version.. They were very common along the trial i was hiking along. Thank you for your kind comments
SheaEckert
If his face is red, then I think my suggest is right... They are also called Tibetan macaque, or the Chinese stump-tailed macaque. By the way, it is a great spotting!!!!!!
SheaEckert
The picture seems black and white, so do you remember if his face was red?
