Definitely a Queen no doubt, though I have zero expertise when identifying American Ants.

Brachymyrmex depilis or Nylanderia sp. Not enough detail to tell. The accuracy of the measurements would be important.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
