Type of monkey and monk (8)

I believe the answer is:

capuchin

(Other definitions for capuchin that I've seen before include "Monkey with a head like a monk's cowl" , "Monkey -- or hooded cloak" , "Franciscan friar - cha in cup (anag)" , "Friar; cloak and hood" , "Religious person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
