@ Behn, after you mentioned the color variation I happened to spot a P. smithii plant with bright RED berries, first one I've ever seen. Thanks for keeping my eyes open.

Smithii. Hookerii flowers are more bell-shaped. Good ID.

Prosartes spp, probably either Prosartes smithii or hookerii, hard to tell without the flowers.
