I think I may have caught my second F. neogagatus this year, but I could use verification please.
Toronto, July 28, 11mm
Thanks,

Looks like Formica argentea or Formica subsericea, based on hair coverage and length of the scapes.

Thanks again Batspiderfish. I'm leaning toward subserecia.
CanadianAnter seems to catch a lot of those in Toronto. Haven't heard him mention argentea yet.
