"Thickly, softly, and brightly colored" . Sound paralell structure doesn't mean correct, does it?
With fur that is thickly, softly, and brightly colored, the marmoset is distinguishable from other members of the mongkey family.

This is wrong because the rules of parallel structure mean that the writer is saying ; "fur that is thickly-coloured, softly-coloured, and brightly-coloured". This doesn't make too much sense in the context of fur, especially "thickly-coloured".
However, I think the writer really means: "fur that is thick, soft, and brightly-coloured."

I would only have one with "LY".

Also, the marmoset is a monkey specie, not "mongkey".
