sorry for bad pics

it reminds me of L niger

Pictures definitely need some work. I would agree with it looking like a Lasius queen, although it's not L. niger. 

 

It's either  Lasius neoniger, L. alienus, L. pallitarsis, L. flavus or L. nearcticus. Unfortunately, right now, your best bet is to wait until she has workers and determine the species group based off their colour.
