This isn’t a Common Black Garden Ant or Meadow Ant so what type of Ant do you think it might be?

Good question, your species identification is often spot on.

If not meadow, then I'd be tempted along the lines of red ant.

Maybe. I think One thing I found interesting with this Ant is that it has a bright orangey gastar which would be that part that hangs right at the back or that looks abit like a tail even though it isn’t. that you can see in the photo. It really stuck out when I saw him walking around.

I think it could well possibly turn out to be one 

Thanks

No problem Zo.
