Ant I found. - Pseudomyrmex gracilis

Ant I found. - Pseudomyrmex gracilis
Houston, Texas, Harris County, Texas, USA
April 16, 2019
I found this ant somewhere in Houston, Texas. There is orange coloration on the mandibles and on the body part that connects the abdomen and the thorax. There is also a bit of orange coloration on the thorax as well. If anyone can identify this ant as soon as possible that would be great.

Pseudomyrmex
I agree with Ken. This does look like Pseudomyrmex.
