Closer pictures, please. It's sort of hard to tell.

 

The wild worker is some Campnotus.

Queen looks like it could be a formica sp. and the worker is camponotus

Side shots are better, but those are certainly better pictures.

 

I think the queen may indeed be a Formica species. As for the wild worker, what habitat did you find her in, and are you sure those ants in the second set are the same kind?

The wild ants in the second set were a different colony. The habitat and a ant from the same original wild colony http://imgur.com/a/f1y0ZvT
