Hi @Frecko, there are only two local species of mound building termites and they are easily identified. However there would be at least 20 other termite species, of which this is one, I presume. Some can be identified to genus level from a good photo of one or more soldiers. With so many termites in view, some of them are likely to be soldiers, but I can barely guess which ones.

Termitoidae (informal group)

Thank you @Alice. I will do my best to capture the head in particular. Legs are hard to photograph unless I maybe turn it upside down. I could try that. There were unfortunately none yesterday to experiment with. Maybe it's getting too cold.
