This Queen is possibly Liometopum Microcephalum. Body shape does match images I see on google.
Only for sure way to tell is to take closer, clear images to the best of your ability.

To identify the Queen properly, clear images of the ant is needed to look at features of its body. For instance:
Antenna, Abdomen, Gaster, etc.
Not only that, but color as well plays a role sometimes.

Alright, thanks for the help but at the moment I can't take any close photos of the queen as I don't have the necessary equipment.
