Probably not an Ant
I am not an expert, and yes at first glance it is ant like. However, ants have bent or elbowed antennae as a distinguishing feature, which this does not. It may be the exception, but I have never heard of an ant without bent antennae. It does look to be hymenoptera though, I hope this helps you narrow your search.
