Yellow-billed Kites, one of them showed it's tail while preening on cam, wing pattern is distinctive as well (and the yellow bill of course Eye-wink )

Not 100% sure about the bird front right being the  same species though, but it most likely is...

The easiest way to tell between the Namaqua Sandgrouse and the Double Banded Sandgrouse is the time of the day that they are drinking Namaqua Sandgrouse drink at dawn and double banded drink at dusk just a piece of information which we find interesting
