I think this is a Camponotus castaneus. Approximately 1/2”. Located in field on the edge of a mixed pine/hardwood forest. Noted several of these over a few days.

Yes, ID is correct but note the spelling C. castaneus. The ending -ous is an English word ending, and is a sequence of letters virtually non-existent in Latin.
