Looks like Dolichoderinae, but can't narrow it down any further.

I disagree. It seems like there could be two petioles.

 

We need clearer photos from the side.

According to antmaps, you're correct, but antmaps doesn't account for every single ant colony; only for the documented specimens. Think about it logistically— is it likely there are 37 Dolichoderinae species in the Colombian state of Meta, but only one Dolichoderniae species in its similarly sized neighboring state, Casanare? If antmaps were to break up Pennsylvania by county, for example, I doubt every county would report Camponotus pennsylvanicus, but that doesn't necessarily mean they don't exist in every county; it just means they haven't been officially documented.
