They look similar to the Red-winged Starlings.

The red-winged has a dark eye and the female a grey head; also the bill of the red-winged is more robust. Apart from that, you are quite right

Also the pale-winged!
Note: Klipspringer hair is the best hair for nest building, it's hollow and optimal for insulation.
