Default Termite or flying ant?
About 1/2-inch long. Found outside the house but no termite droppings anywhere around.

Looks like termite except that one place said termites' wings are easy to break off and this one was not. Also illustrations show termite antennae as being straight or slightly curved and flying ants' as being like elbows. Can't see in the photo, but this one is elbowed.
