Carpenter ant size??

Today I was biking in a local park and saw a queen ant on the ground. Normal I see fire ant queens but this one was bigger with bigger wings. I caught it to ID it but I’m still new to identifying ants. It has a red head and black thorax similar to a fire ants but its head is bigger and more squared if that makes sense. I think its a carpenter ants but I’m not sure how big they get. Whats the average carpenter ant size in Texas? Specifically the Houston area.

don't know the size but it seems like it is Camponotus Novaboracansus Do you have an image with an image i can fully identify (p.s. Camponotus Novabotracansus is a really good species)

Sadly the queen mysteriously died a couple days after my post. I don’t think I got any pictures of it. Luckily I have seen more at a park about a mile from there and I’m planning to go back soon to see if I can find anymore so I get get pictures and ID.

Can you share what park you found them in? I live in the area and have had 0 luck finding one.
