Nanitic Worker Species ID (Queen 10mm, Ohio, June)

This queen was previously identified as a Formica Sp. ( https://forum.AntsCanada.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=6561 )

She now has her first clutch of nanitic workers and I was hoping I might get a species ID from one of you experts. I was expecting F. pallidefulva based on what I see around here and specifically where she was caught. But these little girls emerged quite dark.

Can someone please have a second look and help? Thanks.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
