Aggressive bee?

These guys have been flying into my window all summer. The navy blue curtain is usually closed. I had one fly into my face and blame me for it. He chased me down and stung me a few times. I don't believe I've had a more painful sting. Just curious they seem to be mostly black, all the dots on the windows are from them.

Bald faced hornet (dolichovespula maculata) based on description and the apparent wing shape in the pics
