Brachymyrmex sp. You have a perfect view of the 9 antennal segments in your second picture. The length also makes it obvious.

I don't have much to say other than saw this lone worker wandering outside my door in suburbia, where I've never seen any species other than Linepithema. Almost exactly 1mm length. Tapinoma maybe?
