The gray langurs are a group of Old World monkeys and make up the entirety of the genus Semnopithecus.

Gray langurs are large and fairly terrestrial, inhabiting open wooded habitats and urban areas on the Indian subcontinent. Until recently they were considered one species, Semnopithecus entellus; now seven distinct species are recognized. When only one species was recognized, it was also called the Hanuman Langur (named after the Hindu vanara divinity Hanuman), the Common Langur and the Entellus Langur. In Sri Lanka, it is natively known as the Wandura.

This is a great facial expression Arjun.
You have good details on the Langur. I've never seen one before.
Sometimes it is hard to control what the sky will be like, and the overexposure stands out. I have this too when trying birds in the air.
Keep up the good work.
