Queen ID

Greetings!
I recently found a queen, and someone told me it was brachymyrmex, but I looked up queen size and it was 3mm. This ant queen is 5mm dark brown in color, and has a very unporpotinal gaster. Spieces?
Also does this link work?

Does the description work?
Again:
She is 5-6mm dark brown in coloration, with a gaster that is almost as long as her body.

Ok so there are alot of ants in Florida but here is a list of brachymermex found in Florida.

Brachymyrmex brevicornis Emery?* (Genus in disarray). Columbia Co. Rare. Introduced.

Brachymyrmex depilis Emery? (Genus in disarray). Widespread.

Brachymyrmex minutus Forel?* (Genus in disarray). Dade and Monroe Cos. Introduced.

Brachymyrmex musculus Forel?* (Genus in disarray). Widespread. Introduced.

Brachymyrmex obscurior Forel? (Genus in disarray). Widespread.

You can look up photos and description of these and see if your queen fits in any of these species.
