Found in Danville PA around 5:00 pm.
She’s 4mm in length with a long, striped gaster.
From looking at small ants that fly this late, I think she might be brachymyrmex depilis. Is this right?

I have such a horrible phone camera and she’s so tiny, if you’d like a clearer picture of anything specific let me know and I will use a better camera.

Anything I should focus on to help distinguish?

@Antmom - Good side view of the waist region and clear view of antenna segmentation will settle it.

One on the bottom looks a lot like Brachymyrmex Depilis to me. The one on the top looks like Solonopsis Molesta.
Keeping:
2x - S. molesta (colonies) 1x - C. nearcticus (founding) New!
1x - C. chromaiodes (colony) 1x - C. subbarbatus (founding) New!
2x - F. pallidefulva (colonies) 1x T. sessile (mega colony)
2x - C. cerasi (founding) workers are here!
1x - B. depilis (founding but no eggs)
2x - P. imparis (colony) 2x P. imparis (founding) Unfortunately no multi queen P. imparis colonies as all of the queens died due to fungus infection (assumed). RIP
