South Texas Queen Ant Help ID

The following ant I caught I would say 10/10/2018. I live in south Texas in the Rio Grande Valley. The gaster and head are black. While the rest is red. Now I THINK it's a Camponotus. But I'm just not sure. I'm hoping someone will be able to help ID her. I caught her in a tic-tac bottle. I don't have a ruler that can help really measure her more proper. Kinda hoping the bottle would help give an idea. Assuming you have an idea of a tic tac bottle size.

Sounds like it could be a camponotus vicinus.
