It's hard to tell. If I had to guess, I'd say it isn't a queen. I don't see any wing scars, and although it's hard to determine from those pictures, I can't spot any ocelli either. Check for those two characterisitics. It looks like a worker who has engorged herself on honey. I included a link so you can see what ocelli look like. Good luck!

No just workers of Camponotus sp. Both minor and major workers are present in the photo.
No queen sorry.
