Hey All! I caught this queen on April 29th in Maple Ridge BC. She is 5mm long and has a skinny thorax. She is reddish brown with a darker head and abdomen than her thorax. If you have any ideas please help!

This could very well be a Myrmica queen that was foraging.

At five millimeters, this could also be Stennama. I would like some closer photos, please.
