Phorid flies hatched

Today I saw two flies in the container of bees that I collected from the ground on November 8, 2012.
You can easily see the light color and not so easily the veins on the wings.  The flies I had found amongst the dead bees in Olea's hive were larger and darker; they did have the distinct wing veins.  Perhaps I should capture one and send it off to an entomologist.
