Does anybody know how to tell between Solenopsis xyloni and Solenopsis invicta? Here are a few pics of the queen.

This is a Solenopsis invicta, given the time of year and coloration of the queen.

Edit: Can you get some photos in better light?

That was my guess as well, but wanted to get another opinion. Thanks!
