Queen Ant ID
I caught this winged queen at about 3:00 pm today walking on the ground. She is around 8 mm in length and has a reddish color head and thorax with a darker abdomen. She looks more like Solenopsis in the pictures but she definitely is not anything like Solenopsis. Her wings have a darker shade to them, unlike fire ants which have white/translucent wings.
I also found two Trachymyrmex colonies having nuptial flights today, but I don't think I saw any queens, just males. Here are the images:

Re: Queen Ant ID
Could it be Dorymyrmex flavus or Dorymyrmex bureni?

Re: Queen Ant ID
Have you looked into the possibility of it being Pheidole? If it's not Pheidole this queen has really stumped me.
