I couldn't find a match, but Zaprionus might be the genus.

Yes, I see the stripes clearly on the abdomens in your link, it's the stripes on the back of the thorax I was looking for. They seem so distinct in my spotting.

Thanks NatralList. I looked at Vinegar Flies but they didn't seem as stripey? They were the closest I found too.
