This is a queen. Could be Polyrachis ammon, but can't be sure from the photos. Cheers, Jon

Thanks, thought it might be some type of queen. Sorry about the photo … she kept moving too fast.
I don’t know anything about ants … what features in a photo would help you best to get a good identification? Thanks, Leanne
