I think you're totally right, it definitely looks like a Tetramorium caespitum queen to me.

Actually there is no Podgorica Maine, I'm not sure where I got that...

It looks like a Messor species to me but5 to 7mm seems on the small side

I would take some more pictures if you can

It won't cause her much stress if you take her out gently and for a short time in order to take pictures, plus it will help you get an ID. 

 

Edit: I'm a bit confused as to where you caught her, Montenegro or Maine?
