After a stroll through a Palo Verde woodland in the Tucson mountains I returned to my car to find this male ant sitting on the roof. I didn't immediately recognize it, and several hours later, after I figured it out, I wished I'd stuck around to looks for queens. What is it? I'll provide the answer next week.
Update: the answer!

You should post this as NTA in my forum. :P
Greetings,
I have been following for a lot of time this blog and I find it too interesting :-)
I want to help in the ID but, in the photo, i don't see the morphology of the petiole. If you allows me, i can show the photo to a mirmecologist.
Hello Myrmecos1,
Funny to see that Serginho wants to determine your ant (like you say, you figured it already out!) and wants to show your photo to a myrmicologist. Maybe he comes to you! I didn't try to determine it because I'm not so good with males but , just for my curiosity, like to know what it is. So, tell it!!!
Yours,
Teleutotje
