Yes, I have also been doubting because the colour of the legs of mine are more yellow and the thorax hairs don't look so reddish though I have many more pics of it where the thorax hairs look more reddish, so it must have been the light angle.
They also couldn't give an ID with just the only pict. I posted here, only after I send a couple more they came to that conclusion.
One of them said that in a colony he observed many graduations in colour, from quite pale to deep red.
Unfortunately I don't have one with the red tail-end enough visable.

I've seen yours when I wanted to enter mine and it made me doubt again about the ID of mine, lol!

A couple more pics;

A heavily cropped one of the first. I think I see some reddish from the tail end shining through the wing (or is it wishful thinking,lol)
