Queen Ant Identification

Hello all.

I caught a couple queens in Louisiana, United States, during the first week of June. They are both about 8mm long. I've included a link to pictures. Any help with an id would be great!

Its almost impossible to identify your queens whith the photos that you took, get the camera out of the queens face and let us see the hole queen in the picture, not just parts of her like her jaws or gaster like you did...
