Trepobate Water Strider? - Trepobates subnitidus

Trepobate Water Strider? - Trepobates subnitidus
Great Falls, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA
September 6, 2007
I captured (photographically) a group of these guys just hanging out on the water, and when I looked at the photo, noticed they had different colorations. I assume they're still the same kind of insect, but figured I'd post up the variations here, cropped into separate images. Have I guessed what they are correctly? I see not many images of Trepobates here, and they all appear to be of one color type.

Oh!
Thank you again! =)

Thanks
for getting to these - I've been wondering about them. =)
