It is possible that this ant is Pheidole but I just can't see it well enough to be sure.

Thanks @JonLewis. I'm not sure if you looked at the original photos, they are slightly better than the ones displayed in NatureMapr. The ant was very small and hard to photogrph on a background nearly the same colour.

Thanks @kasiaaus - yes, small ants and bad backgrounds are a difficult combination.
