Camponotus were flying today of all types... was crazy.  Wondering if a Myrmentoma subgenus?  Noticed the gaster on this one is a lot smaller than the one I had found here:
 
Where collected? United States in Massachusetts near Nashua, NH
Habitat of collection? Heavily wooded lot on driveway
Coloration, hue and pattern? black head, bicolor thorax and gaster 
Length in millimeters? ~9.5mm
