I think it is tetramorium but I am also new to this, dont trust me much. Better to wait for the answer of a veteran

Better lighting and a measurement will be necessary to do a proper ID. Has the looks of Lasius aphidicolus, but again I can't see it very well.

Definitely not Tetramorium, looks like Formica fusca to me but I can't really tell here.
