I did some research by myself and I'm thinking it's an Ochetellus/Iridomyrmex Glaber. Please do some research and tell me what you think! :D

Oops when I first saw the first picture it looked like it had a curled abdomen thats were I went wrong. I would now say it is iridomyrmex bicknelli.

Actually for a fact she actually does have a curled abdomen with a hook thats an orangey colour at the end. Oh and btw, im keeping multiple iridomyemex bicknelli and i know for a fact that they arent the same. This queen is much bigger with a bigger head and a more elongated adomen. Also this one is much darker and more matte colour. Thanks for the timw though!
