Help identify this queen (Spain)

I caught this queen in Spain the 25th of June this year. It is completely black and measures 5mm. She is absolutely tiny. I would like some help identifying it.

Looks like Tapinoma sp.
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.
