Bombus jonellus male?

[JRsbugs]

Hello all,

This doesn't look like B. campestris, the only one it seems to fit is B. jonellus. Any thoughts?

Bombus hortorum male - Bombus jonellus looks like a B.pratorum male with a white tail - it has a short face and yellow hairs on the face.

Thanks Matt. This doesn't have yellow hairs on the face so it has to B. hortorum I guess, but I have never seen one with yellowish tail hairs. This wasn't pollen, I saw it more than once.
