Help with identifying Ulladulla dove

With wild Namaqua doves in Tanzania the long pointy tail really stood out.  From the images I don't think this bird is one. 

 

Beyond that remarkably unhelpful advice I have no comment.

I have been asked for more information and pictures on these doves.   Apologies for  the quality of the pictures, they are taken off a video camera.  Both birds have pink legs and a yellow iris.  Some white shows at the ends of the outer tail feathers when they fly.  The dark face, throat and upper breast is distinct in both birds.  At times, this dark area can have a slight dark blue tinge to it.  The rest of the plumage is as shown in the photos, fairly drab with no noticeable areas of sheen or spots and a white belly.  They did not call.
