Randomly found while checking out some Pogonomyrmex barbatus mounds. Don't know the species but looks like a male to my untrained eye. What say the internet people?

Shorter gaster and tiny head almost always means it’s a Male.

Below is a Pogonomyrmex male for your reference.

Thank you for your input.
