We caught another queen, I would be very grateful for identification. I hope she's not another parasite. I really hope she's not just a major.

Date of collection: June 22nd 2019
Habitat of collection: oak forest on the edge of a city
Length: 11-12 mm

That's a Camponotus ligniperda or Camponotus herculeanus major-worker not a queen.
