If it's a Volucella obviously only could be V. bombylians, but there are other genus with perfect batesian mimicry to the genus Bombus. Could somebody give me a more sure ID?

Location: Valdelinares, Teruel, NE Spain. 1900 meters above sea.
Habitat: Over a flower of Succisa sp.
Date: Yesterday.
Size: The same than a Volucella zonaria.

I have two more pics if they are needed for ID.
