Please help Identify- Toronto, July 11 - 9mm

[MaxGen]

Found this on my driveway. At first, wasn't even sure it was an ant, but looking at the closeup pictures, it appears to be. It seems an odd shape to be a worker, which makes me suspect it is a queen? It almost looks like there is a fungus growing on her.

Can anyone identify what it is?

Thanks,

The fuzzy social parasite, Lasius murphyi.

Ah, thanks Batspiderfish. That's a shame, I don't have any workers for her I'll offer her to my fellow Toronto ant keepers in case anyone can help her.
