Pogonomyrmex - Pogonomyrmex californicus

Pogonomyrmex - Pogonomyrmex californicus
Ramona Grasslands, San Diego County, California, USA

I'm not having any luck working out differences between P. californicus and P. subnitidus. The BugGuide images seem to mostly contradict the key features.

Moved from Harvester Ants.

I would think P. californicus (or P. maricopa)
