Found this queen running around while I was out hiking. I was on a typical mountain trail. Found her in the shade of a tree. Found her early/mid afternoon. She seemed pretty active as I caught her. She is somewhere between 9 and 11mm. Any ID help would be greatly appreciated.

I found this exact same species out here in Wyo too. She's a very very shiny black right?
