It is hard to guess what a Maroon leaf monkey weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Maroon leaf monkey (Presbytis rubicunda) on average weights 6.37 kg (14.04 lbs).
The Maroon leaf monkey is from the family Cercopithecidae (genus: Presbytis). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 49.9 cm (1′ 8″). Usually, Maroon leaf monkeys have 1 babies per litter.
As a reference: An average human weights in at 62 kg (137 lbs) and reaches an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″). Humans spend 280 days (40 weeks) in the womb of their mother and reach around 75 years of age.

It is found on the southeast Asian island of Borneo and the nearby smaller Karimata. P. rubicunda mostly live in forests at altitudes below 2,000 m. They feed on leaves (36%), .
