This is likely a Camponotus sansabeanus queen.

Definitely a queen. The large thorax (middle section of body) is a good sign it's a queen.

This is defenitely a queen. ongradulations!! I advise you to put her somewhere dark and close to the temperature where you found her. Then leave her in the dark for a few weeks. Dont worry, she will feed herself. I have had queens go without food for six to seven months so you will be fine.
