Tri-colored bumble bee? - Bombus huntii

Tri-colored bumble bee? - Bombus huntii
Riverside, Carbon County, Wyoming, USA
October 10, 2014
This bee was feeding on a late blanketflower bloom (Gaillardia aristata). I am guessing tri-colored bumble bee, except that it has two yellow bands between the end of the abdomen and the orange bands, rather than the one yellow band shown in the guides I have been consulting.
