Yeah, a male. The big eyes and straight forward antennae.

 

The overall body shape could easily be mistaken for a queen though. I am not sure what species that is. I normally can't tell by looking at males because they often look very different from workers and queens.

Yep those are queens, they have smaller eyes and by the looks of it much more "Swollen" abdomen.

Great! Some Cataglyphis sp. are semi claustral so I recommend feeding her.

It's when a queen seals herself underground and raises her first workers. Semi claustral queens dig a founding chamber and come out in search for food.
