Unknown queen ants

I caught these ant on 10 July in the afternoon. The location is Belgium. 



I tried getting one of them out of the test tube and stressed them out a lot... I hope I didn't kill them with that stress (the one that dropped out literally left a white trail for 4cm...). I thought they where solenopsis fugax but apparently they only fly in August/September so now I'm thinking tetramorium caespitum since they look like another ant that I caught a little earlier. The only thing is that those Yellow Marks are not that clear on caespitum.
