There it is..... not!
One of the very basic differences with columbine species is whether or not the spurs are hooked or straight. Spurs are the pointy end of the trumpet shaped petals, and protrude out the back of the flower.
These are clearly hooked, and the spurs of the Colorado state flower (Aquilegia coerulea) are straight.

Although there are a few American hooked spur species, it is rare to find them in cultivation beyond specialty growers. As such, hooked spurs are generally associated with Eurasian species, of which there are many. In my opinion, this columbine looks like Aquilegia flabellata or a hybrid there of.
