Moved from Bumble Bees.

Given it's a Bombus... rufoci
Given it's a Bombus... rufocinctus or griseocollis? I'm leaning towards the latter since the hair is so short and even, but not certain.

 
i now think its fraternus
note black hairs of face, very dark wings, black ineralar hairs, and short appressed pubescence.
