I've caught 3 queen ants that I think are Solenopsis, but many people are saying that they are Pheidole. What do you guys think?

Yellowish/Orangish, with black lines- Gaster/Abdomen area
Body Description: Very large jaws
Somewhat flat at the top of their thorax's
Two dots on the side of their wings (one on each)

Time: Around 8:00 PM

Hope I gave as much information as I can, for people to identify them! Much appreciated!
Solenopsis or Pheidole Queens?

Re: ID Request
I Think We'll Need More Closer Shots On The Petiole Nodes & Head Section To Properly ID Them.
