3-4 mm is a little small but given the size of her head relative to her body, Pheidole pilifera does seem accurate.

So i have found what i think is a Pheidole pilifera but i keep thinking it is not. Also head is a slight orange with it's gaster turning brown with yellowish bands going around it

She is around 3-4 mm long

Was caught after a rain storm 81 degrees (feels like 92)
