It's difficult with this pic but I don't think it is Habereri. C. Habereri should be brown and not so glossy

Dear Chromerust,

 

Thank you for your reply.

Actually I just found this very good picture of it in a Chinese website.. but they said also Species unknown.

And called it :

"Yunnan Tiger Stripe Camponotus"

 

If I find out more, I will update it here.

Regards
