By the shape of the head and antennae, I think this is a queen ant, but I can't find a conclusive ID.

I'll check it, thanks.
yes, this one looks more like a Ponerinae
Thank you, Juan. I can ID some queens of genus Atta because they have very wide abdomens, but this one has a narrower abdomen. That is why I thought it could be a male.
yes, this is a Queen ant
