This is probably a Bombus huntii like this morning but it is half the size or smaller. 20mm vs 10mm. It is a male, skinny legs no pollen basket.
There's lots of these small orange ones around. I guess the size can be variable based on how much food the larvae get. The large ones could be well fed female workers that were out when the sun set I guess.
