Bombus vosnesenskii or B. caliginosus?
Bombus vosnesenskii
(one of the most common, according to my guide), hasT4 almost entirely yellow or
Bombus caliginosus
(uncommon), has T4 yellow but with a black at the front and often forming a triangle interrupting the yellow at midline.
Any views more from the back that may show this?
