queen, make a habitat asap and if its been fucked youll have a colony

That's a male alate. You can tell by the size of the head and the shape of the gaster. It's useless to you or your friend, so release it or kill it.

It looks like a queen to me when I browse through google images. The head side looks right. The gaster shape doesn't seem masculine.

Can you post some documentation?

That's definitely a male alate. I have no doubt about it. An ID might convince you, although the pictures aren't good enough to do that.

Here's a decent side by side comparison of a male alate (left) and female alate (right). These are Camponotus, which yours most definitely isn't based on its size, but the anatomy is fairly similar across most ant species. Notice the much smaller head and the smaller, slimmer gaster, which also has a slight curve to it rather than being round.

One more thing that can help confirm the sex is the leg size. Queens tend to have thicker, sturdier legs, whereas males will have thin, spindly legs. That may be a little hard to see on the ant you have though due to the size.
