Do you think Xyloni and Invicta look alike ?

Found this queen in my pool, and she had already detached her wings. This happened about three weeks ago, and till this day, she has no larvae.

They look pretty similar, especially the minors. I've heard of fire ant control labs having to dissect the head to be sure of an ID. The queens are easy enough to tell apart though.
