If this queen was found in the same flight or obtained at the same time as the other queen, then it is most likely the same species. This queen looks a little larger than C. fragilis unless physogastric (the usual lighter color of C. fragilis can be mistaken as both species have a darker and lighter morph depending on where they are found). I believe this is just a lighter morph of C. destination but once again, I would agree with GOCAMPONOTUS on using the ID template as it is much more helpful.
