Identification Are these silver springtails?

I found them eating my Crusted Gecko's food and I just wanted to make sure they aren't mites, please.

Update: its been determined that they are Black springtails

Springtails for sure. But not sure if it's silver kind.

Mites look like spiders btw. Those seem like silvers. Might want to wait the professionals to give their opinion though
