I'd like a picture from the side, like you've done the other ones. I think we can ID it then.

Sorry for the late reply I've just had my mid-test this week

My guess would be Odontoponera , judging by the singular petiole node and the two spikes on its front end of the thorax

just a random guess, because I have been clicking on every single (idk...genus?) In the ponerinae wikipedia article and one looks very similar to the black ant

thanks

If she appears in characteristics similar towards this individual, then you're probably positive on the ID.
