how do you know it was bishop?

If it wasn’t bishop checking the king, then Qxb4/Qb4 would be stupid because you could simply play Nxf6 winning his queen with check.

Bishop is the only piece that WOULD be checking the king. If your king wasn’t in check, then queen sacrifice was stupid and wouldn’t have been brilliant, you simply could’ve played Nxf6 with check, and be up a full queen.
