Any Entomologists on /sci/?

I need your services identifying this ant

found in Northern California
roughly 1 1/2 cm long

found it solitary under a rock.

will be bumping with random insect/arachnid photos

It's definitely an ant. I would hazard a guess at a Northern California Solitary Rock Ant, also known as Norcalus rockantus.

Looks like a variant of a Carpenter Ant. I'm in NY so I know more about NE pests. You fellas over in the S & W get some crazier variants of bugs then we get in the great frozen north.
