Wow those are some impressive mandible! Looks like a queen to me, but I couldn't tell you her species.

Yeah, its really confusing to me. I would like to think it is a Camponotus, but its a little late in the year for them

Did a little research, and if somebody can confirm, I would greatly appreciate it!!
I believe this queen to be of the Camponotus semitestaceus species
