Is she a queen? Any idea on species?

I just happened to see this girl scurry across my patio and caught her in a cup! Is she a queen or a super major? I’ve never caught a queen before so I’ve never seen one up close. If she is a queen, any idea the species?

Can you post some images? Try using imgur.com
My current colonies:

-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]

My apologies! I tried to add one and it looks like it didn’t go. I used Imgur this time :)

Looks like formica sp, have a look at antmaps.org they can show you what species of formica live in your area.
