Is this a composting worm?

Hello, I decided to try composting this spring (my first try). I read how you can get some finished quicker by turning and stirring every day. Well I got an 18 gal. rubbermaid type container, drilled lots of holes and put some shredded newspaper, dry leaves, old leaves from a pile that was decomposing since last fall, some grass clippings, coffee grounds and some veggie trimmings. It has been decaying nicely. While turning it the other day I came across a couple of worms and I was wondering if these are composting red worms. I had already been wanting to start a worm bin but hadn't been able to get worms yet. Anyway I was just hoping someone might be able to tell me what they are. Thanks in advance. Oh, I put the pictures on my flickr page.
