From what I remember from the books, the actual cue is not the position of the sun but the angle of polarized light and its changes through time.  Hence that short period at noon in equatorial regions where there is no direction to the polarization that can be used as an orientation cue and foraging stops or slows.  If I remember the books correctly.
