Very hard to tell from the pics sorry. Could be one of a number of similar species. White-tailed is a good call or buff-tailed, garden bumblebee or even broken belted bumblebee, they all look superficially similar. There's also a number of cuckoo bees that imitate all of the above. Even experts need to stuff them into test tubes for an exact ID sometimes.
