Sorry if I sound like an idiot or whatever, but I just started ant keeping and managed to caught what I think is a queen. I'm not sure but here take a look for yourselves.

Hard to tell from this one photo. My initial guess is that it is not a queen, based on the size of the thorax. Usually the thorax (middle body section) is much larger as it houses the muscles used for wings and flight.

Unfortunately... I agree .it looks like you have a Camp major , not queen. The queen looks very similar . Except like she has s bulge on her back. Almost as if she wore a backpack .(scale-size)
