Queen Identification Request (Eagle Idaho)

Hello again ant lovers!
I am back again with another Identification request from Eagle Idaho, USA. Some of you may know that I found another queen tetramorium last night while taking out my trash, well I got lucky while I was taking in the trash and found this beauty! Image Image Image Sorry that the photos are a little bit fuzzy... She is about seven mm long like my other ants, but the reason I am trying to get another ID is because of her head and body size. I have four laying Tetramorium sp. E, and they look much different. This queen's thorax and head are much less proportional, her head being much smaller. I am wondering if they are a different species, or if this is just another Tetramorium...
Thanks for the help,
Idahoantguy
