California, seemingly, has a few species with dark queens in that size range. The two that are described that come to mind are C. californica and C. coarctata. However, distinguishing the two apart would require showing much of the finer integument and vestiture.

You’ll need a good key, a microscope, and a prayer to ID her to species.

If she survives, founds and produces workers, at that point an ID should be easier.
