Please post pictures, measurements and follow the Ant Identification Template.

 

Because of the time you found it (Labour day) it's possibly Lasius neoniger but please post pictures.

looking at pictures of Lasius neoniger  makes me feel like this the average size of a worker ant so it probably isn't a queen.
