I'm not sure, although it could be Camponotus subbarbatus, or Colobopsis sp.

I've had someone else suggest Brachymyrmex and it looks a lot like Brachymyrmex depilis but I am far from knowing what I'm looking at

Since there is no sign of an acidopore, that puts her in the Dolichoderinae subfamily. Camponotus and Brachymyrmex are in Formicinae and have acidopores.
At that size, she would have to be Forelius, most likely Forelius pruinosus.

If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
