Paper wasp nest

Barry found and photographed this large paper wasp nest at the garden. I was looking at it just before he photographed it and could see no wasps around the entrance so am unsure if it is an aerial yellowjacket nest or that of a bald-faced hornet. I am inclined to think the latter because of the sheer size of it. Once the hard frost hits, all these wasps, except for the queens, will die off.
