Queen ant I'd?

I found many of these queens on Saturday 5/18. They are really tiny, about half the size of a tetramorium queen, I know tapinoma sessile are flying this time of year, but I haven't found them around my house this year. The queen also seems like it would be only slightly larger than a tapinoma worker. This is the best picture I can get off this little lady, all 5 captured have laid eggs within hours.
Any help would be awesome, thanks ahead of time

Where was she caught? Probably need a brighter picture, too.

After looking them up, Nylanderia flavipes seems to fit their description
Thank you all
