Just a note about writing scientific names: Genus part is always capitalized, species part is never capitalized, thus C. inaequalis or C. americanus.

Anyway, with that slender-bodied queen and pale headed workers, 
C. inaequalis looks like a closer fit. Also, locality is not mentioned, but southern Florida C. inaequalis, northern Florida, C. americanus.
