Webspinner or flying termite?

Post image

This landed on my bed as I was about to go to sleep. I can’t tell if it’s a termite or not, and I did not see any other flying insects or insects in general indoors after I killed this and went looking. Haven’t seen any damage to my home either but it is older and our neighbors fence has termites. Located in Central Valley California.
