Hi Nancy:
The image is very bright on my monitor so I can't really distinguish betwee=
n the species you suggest & several other similar ones. However the face is=
 golden which suggests B. borealis rather than fervidus. However it is more=
 likely to be be Psithryus fernaldae which is a cuckoo bumble bee. David Mc=
Corquodale will have more insight into its id.
