I would agree with your guess, C. pennsylvanicus queens look like that.

1. Location of collection: Ontario
2. Date of collection: 4/26/2017
3. Habitat of collection: Forest, with eggs and nanitics inside fallen log.
4. Length (from head to gaster): ~15mm
5. Color, hue, pattern and texture: See images

Images were difficult to take because it didn't fit properly under the microscope.

Camponotus pennsylvanicus is possible.

Could also be Camponotus modoc.

I caught 2 myself today. 1 just her and the other just with a few eggs. So happy!

Keeping:
Camponotus subbarbatus
Camponotus pennsylvanicusx3 (founding)
Dorymyrmex bureni
Formica pallidefulva x3
Formica subsericea x4
Tetramorium immigrans

Have kept many other ant species but now keep over 100 tarantulas and other inverts! Mantids, centipedes, and scorpions to name a few 😁
