I photographed some of a troop of langurs at Kaeng Krachan, Thailand. This adult looks spot on for dusky - the expected species - but the young one looks young enough that it should still be orange, in this species. Or am I mistaken?

No it's fine, they aren't orange for that long, usually within six months they change, yours is older, full facial markings.

I like 'Spectacled Langur' for the name, more character but I suppose that would be problematic if it gets split?

Great little animals.
