3 new queen ants (spain) identification

I have caughg three different queen these past weeks. I have a minimum idea in two of them but I have no idea what the other might be

1: this first one measures about 10-11 mm and is very black and shiny (is it formica fusca??)

2: this one is about 8-9 mm and is greyish/black, I think it might be lasius niger, but it is just a hypothesis

3: i have no clue what it the genus this queen ant belongs to, might it be tetramorium?? I have no idea. Anyway it measures 7 mm and is black.

Can anyone try to ID 1 & 3? There are no prictures provided for 2. Thx.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.

He has already id 1, it is Formica Fusca, as it is in a folder called “Formica fusca”

As for 3, Camponotus? Photos are not clear. Quite small for Campo, maybe Colobopsis?
