Dorymyrmex queen?

[Aaron567]

I found this queen in the pool last week and she has a clutch of eggs and she is doing great. I thought she was a Dorymyrmex sp. at first, but after looking at her colors and gaster, I'm not too sure. She may just be a different species or color of Dorymyrmex but I'm posting it here to make sure. Her head and thorax are light brown, similar to a Dorymyrmex bureni queen. But her gaster is yellow, which is different.





Also she has a black spot under her gaster, does anyone know what it could be?

I'm not very good at some of these obscure Solenopsis/Pheidole, but she kinda looks like Pheidole morrisi to me (which is common in Florida). You can tell she isn't Dorymyrmex by the two petiole nodes (dolichoderines only have one, and it's often hard to see.)

She's definitely a Myrmicinae ant, most likely Pheidole morrisi by the looks of it.

Doing some research, this looks to be Solenopsis corticalis. I don't know if you could weigh in on this.
