What Causes Purple Bruising On The Area Where Hamstring Got Pulled?

Pulled a hamstring while on vacation--no big deal, done it before. Achy etc. as expected. There was no visible bruising at the skin surface for 5 days afterward. Flew almost 11 hours home and the next day had deep purple bruising on the skin on the area. I m guessing that the loong flight brought the bruising to the surface and that it s not a big deal...thoughts?
