This was in my garden this morning but I was only able to get one shot of it.

I think it may be a Common Morning Bee but as I'm only an insect novice could someone confirm or correct me?

No, it's not Melecta albifrons. This bee is very worn- I wouldn't be surprised if it's a very aged Bombus pascourum, but difficult with such an old specimen.
