This is definitely not Camponotus. I'm almost positive it is Tetramorium but without a clearer picture it would be impossible to tell

You know, now that you say that it does look more like a Tetramorium. My bad :D

Yes. I have 6 or seven tetramorium queens that look exactly like this. Good find!
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
