1st queen was found in yard, just moved into a hole, looks dark brown/black, about 6mm long

This second queen and workers were found in the woods, on an old log, I peeled back some bark and there they were, I was looking for a newly settled Camponotus pennsylvanicus, which this is obviously not, they are orange in color and after they settled in to a different formicarium than the one pictured, they remain completely still and hidden until nighttime, when they appear fairly active. The queen is around 5mm long.
