Just wanna know what species this is. Found at El Dorado Hills Bowmen in the evening. The worker was carrying a pelllet back to the nest, which was in between some pavement slabs.

Unlikely to get a firm specific Id on this one, but the options are pretty slim.

Although I do not doubt the Id, I am curious as to the reason for your conclusion.
