It looks like a species of Pheidole. You probably already know that though, and I can't help you on the species.

Pheidole sp.

[rbaezam]

I guess both of you are right, she looks like a Pheidole. Any idea about the specific sp?

 

Thanks.

She reminds me somewhat of a Monomorium queen, but her thorax suggests otherwise. 

Agreeing with Pheidole.
