The varied white-fronted capuchin has conspicuous white fur on the head and bright red fur on the chest and belly. It is restricted to Colombia's middle Magdalena Valley. An induced observation with one wild group recorded food sharing of eggs.
The upper and sides of the head, chin, and lower neck are white, with a dark interaural area. The middle back is dark blond, the hind back is reddish, the flanks are dark gray-brown, and the chest, belly, and inner and outer limbs are bright red.
In an induced study of one wild group offered chicken eggs, researchers recorded 10 passive food-sharing events; five were between mothers and offspring.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
