It could just as well be Camponotus modoc. Actually probably that. Notice the red legs.

The gaster doesn't look very hairy -- could be C. herculeanus.

Liometopum reminds me a lot of Camponotus, but we can see from her acidopore-bearing gaster that she is in the Formicinae subfamily, as opposed to Liometopums' Dolichoderinae.
