Tapinoma sessile or Nylanderia sp. ? Jasper Indiana PLZ HELP

Hey, I found his queen while I was cleaning up our patio. She was still winged, but couldn’t fly and was acting like a fertilized queen. She is 4 mm long and I’m pretty sure she isn’t tapinoma sessile, so could she be a Nylanderia sp. ? Here are some pictures, sorry that they aren’t very good, she’s so small.

Tapinoma sessile queen indeed.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.
