Need help identifying this queen!

I found this queen today near Baltimore in Maryland. I can’t seem to quite figure out what it is. I could use a second pair of eyes! I found her walking around but her wings are still on. Hopefully she’s fertile.

Pictures should be in the imgur link.

It is a bit hard to tell if your queen contains any red. Indeed she is a camponotus queen, more presicely one of these 6:
Camponotus caryae
Camponotus chromaiodes
Camponotus nearcticus
Camponotus novaeboracensis
Camponotus pennsylvanicus
Camponotus subbarbatus

I would personally think that she is camponotus nearcticus. But then again, this post is from 2019...
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]
