Queen id please
Hi, first time posting and first year collecting ants I think this is a fusca queen but having difficulty discerning lasius niger from fuscas. Any assistance would be really appreciated.

Forgot to say this was caught in early July in Suffolk England. Apologies for the pic quality I used my phones camera.

I agree with F. fusca.
