I would have to agree with T. sessile. The head shape is clearly Dolichoderinae. Without the location I may have told you Iridomyrmex, lol.

Could you have gotten the measurements wrong? It looks like formica lasioides or Formica subaenescens but they usually fly later in the year around august or June.

Definitely to small to be Formica, or any big species.

Take a look at the acidopore, it looks round to me which would let out Tapinoma.

Oops, i was looking at the  the Brachymyrmex queens.
