Off top of my head, I'm thinking it's orange varient of Camponotus vicinus. Definetly a Camponotus though.
Could I get the size measurment?
Oh, so this is how the signature function works. Nice.

it looks like a sansabeanus or semi media, could even be ocreatus, ca02. OR it could be that undescribed ants including vicinus,semi, and sana. it is not a queen.

Definitely not a queen, despite the size of the thorax muscles. Probably a semi-media worker? I think it could be a Camponotus, based on the head shape and gaster. Really like the colouring! Do you know what size it is? Then we can do some better ID
Manica invidia (1 queen, ~200 workers)
Manica invidia (1 colonies, 1 queens plus 3 workers)
Lasius niger (single queen, ~200 workers - naturalistic, predatory set-up)
Lasius americanus (1 colony, ~10 workers)
Tetramorium immigrans (3 colonies, 3 queens, ~ five workers each | 1 colony, 1 queen, ~1200 workers)
Formica aserva (aserva queen, ~15 ​Formica neorufibarbis workers)

Most likely a Camponotus sansabeanus media.

Camponotus us-ca02 is definitely a likely option here, especially with how leggy and large it is. "True" Camponotus sansabeanus doesn't exist in that area, nor does "true" C. semitestaceus.
GOCAMPONOTUS edited his post, again, to include the species I pointed out.
