Carpenter ant.
Well, the winged specimen is definitely a queen carpenter ant, genus Camponotus.

Without wings
The individual without wings clearly had them at some point, in the full sized pictures the thorax has indentations for the wings and the same small bump on the dorsal side.

I ran into two with wings (that's not quite true, one ran into me ;-) and one without.

Thanks for the ID.
