@jwidness how can you tell that it's a diana monkey uttering these sounds?

This is amateur video but you can hear the sound the Diana monkeys make here:

The monkey in that amateur video looks like a different monkey than the Diana Monkey we have in our field guide. Related species?

That I don't know, but the sound is definitely a very cool Diana monkey vocal.
We also had a discussion about monkey sounds with @akalan - the C&S expert on forest vocalizations and acoustics here:

Wow! I love this project - there are so many things to learn for a non-zoologist like me 😃

The only species that looks very similar to the diana monkey is the roloway monkey, which has a very long white beard. Honestly, I can't really even tell if there's a beard in the amateur footage, but roloways are not common in zoos, so it seems more likely to be a diana.
Like Snorticus said, @akalan is the vocalization expert, so if you have questions about sounds, you can definitely ask her. : )
