Despite the differences in the terrain, I think Susan is right. This is a crab eating macaque. They inhabit a wide variety of ecosystems.

Yes look similar... This monkey is living in mountainous areas, while other spotting live in a swamp area.

thanks... as we know, this area is affected to "ash rain" from the eruption of Mount Bromo in the beginning of this year, but they fine now. :)
