Title: Unidentified cory catfish- please help!

I bought these guys this afternoon. They were mislabeled, but I should have been more careful. Anyway, I got home and under the light I don't know what kind of cory they are. Here are some shots with my bad digital camera. Hopefully gives a decent view.

They are about 1.3 inches long and the only thing I've really noticed particular is that they seem to make more runs to the surface to get gulps of air for their intestines than my other cories do. This could just be stress from traveling?

Any suggestions or ideas as to the identification of these guys?

I just need to figure out if I can keep them or if I need to take them back. They are currently in my 10 gallon with the betta, but if they get too large for that I could move them to the 29 gallon with my other cories.

Thanks, someone advised me that they are elegant cories.

That is a really cool website, Leema. :D
