Weird ant?

So sitting on my porch like how I find most of my queens I found this and with a deep red, (kinda like a gmc red), rear and a black front, it was lime any other ant but these coloration and the white spots on its rear end I tried to grab it for photos but it escaped I live in new Hampshire and was curious what type it might be if it is even a ant or me seeing things, although someone I was with also thinks it was a ant from the build? Don't think it was a red velvet "ant" but I have no clue as it was fast ( like what I've read those are) and I've never seen one before.

He just said it escaped before he could take a photo. Lol.

Anyways, could be a type of camponotus.
