Ants found in wisconsin on 9/10

Hi. I found like 4 ants that look real similar to each other and I'm fairly certain are queens. My pictures aren't great unfortunately, but they're like a lighter brownish color? If anyone could help me identify them or even just give me a second opinion on if they're queens or not, I'd appreciate it as I'm still new to this. Thank you :)

looks like a lasius sp. possibly lasius americanus
1x Lasius Niger - early forging stage - 60-100 workers
1x Messor Barbarus - founding stage - <20 workers
1x Camponotus Turkestanus - claustral stage - 1 nanitic + brood
1x Odontoponera Transversa - semi-claustral stage - no eggs
