Explanation+ID
This ant looks like a major worker, the other ant looks like a minor worker, major workers can be present in many ant genera (most notably the genus Pheidole) and are generally larger in size and have a larger head.

Both imaged ants look like Camponotus pennsylvanicus, but I'm not sure how to move images.
