Need Help Identifying A New Queen Ant

Hello ant keepers, I recently caught a queen ant in Australia and I’m unable to identify it, it’s around 7mm and has already taken off its wings, I don’t know if it’s laid any eggs yet as it’s a small species, I’ve got it in a Test Tube Setup filled with normal water, any help would be Greatly Appreciated :D :).

It’s a Small Orange and it’s 7mm long and is quite active.
