Thank you & question
Thank you. Is Bombus bifarius fairly similar to Bombus huntii? (B. bifarius is what I had mistakenly thought it was, so I'm glad I posted the photos.)

it does appear to be huntii
in bifarius the hind margin of the black interalar band is not straight but instead extends far posteriorly in the middle
