Camponotus Identification for Educational Colony

I have a Camponotus queen with workers that I plan on using to teach kids about bugs (life cycle, food web, ect.) and I'd like to know what species it is. I know for sure its Camponotus but I'm not sure what kind. I doubt its Camponotus Pennsylvanicus as the workers don't have the golden gaster and have a red/yellowish tint to their bodies with black gasters. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Camponotus modoc is my guess. I cant see much colours in the photo but you can also see camponotus novaeboracensis
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony
