Yeah I thought Western too, until I looked into the range. Maybe rufocinctus is correct.

Now I'm debating my own findings, as I think this might be out of the range of the Western bee. Bombus rufocinctus is starting to look like a possibility.

A head's up: I may be great with arthropods, but it happens that bees/Apoidea are the bugs I know the least about. I would be happy if someone else challenged my choice.
