Looking for second opinion. Previously identifies as crematogaster cerasi but (after obtaining a better pic), I think it might be tatramorium. Any help is greatly appreciated! I have more pics if you need them.

Crematogaster; might be C. lineolata. Can you get a picture of the mesosoma from the side, showing off the hairs at the top?

Either of those do the trick?
No Camponotus Lineolota in Pennsylvania

The mesosoma is her entire thorax. I guess to be specific, I want to see the hairs on the pronotum.

I'll try to get a better pick but are you sure, I didn't think we had lineolota in Pennsylvania

I found her about 2 weeks ago on my sidewalk right next to the driveway if that helps

Sorry, the only picture where I could see her hairs at all was the first one. They seem numerous and long enough for C. lienolata.
