Hi Richard, I think you have done well in relation to the conditions, especially with having the subject backlit. You do like bright conditions don't you, LOL. 
Firstly I would look at more of a conventional 3x2 portrait (vertical 566 x 800px) format, clipping some of the RHS away. Try opening up if you can, the face to get a bit more detail, however I think it might start to add noise to the area. I have know idea what the colour of these animals should be, but whether its the light through the canopy, something in the process, but there does seem to be some greens & reds coming through in the fur. Be interested to know your thoughts. Got to love those claws.

Hi Steve
Green/brown red in fur is expected; there is algae that grows on the fur;each hair has a groove in which the blue green algae is found in the rainy season the algae multiplies rapidly givivng the animal a mossy green appearence!
When dry season this is more brown/reddish; this chap was captured just at the start ogf the rains. somehow the light is never good to me haha
I will look at the crop
more pics to come, Howler Monkeys etc, thanks for posting
