Looks like a parasitic lasius to me. I recommend reading this excellent guide to founding these: http://www.formicult...cial-parasites/

Polyergus Mexicanus: https://www.formicul...gs/#entry175528
Lasius minutus: https://www.formicul...cs/#entry174811
Lasius latipes: https://www.formicul...gs/#entry206449
