I believe you're right - and have a blonde here
See:

I noticed your post the day you contributed it, but waited until others had a chance to comment. Typical of honey bee ID requests, no one responded. My take is that people fear making a wrong ID of something so simple. Hey, I'm ready to make a fool of myself. (Another thing I've noticed is that sometimes one comment - like this - inspires others.)

Anyway, that's a fine shot, Paul.
