Looks very much like Temnothorax ambigus or Temnothorax curvispinosus. Try getting a close picture of the top of the mesosoma, showing both propodeal spines.

The dark spots on the gaster of the top worker in the pictures looks particularly like Temnathorax curvispinosus, I agree with Natholf, try to get some closer shots.
