Groups like the fur, Taman would be better comparisons. These nara/kunama guys are much farther on the map.

The Nara are literally the closest to the Nubians linguistically.
Nilotic people are darker, and have more narrow/pseudo-Caucasoid facial features. They are tall and skinny as well. Half Cushitic/half Nilotic = Maasai.
Interesting people. The Kunama definitely do look more Nubian than the Nara though. And it’s amazing how many of them look like regular Horners.
Perhaps it is true that all East Africans are Sudanese immigrants then

The Nara and Kunama used to have a lot more land but they were enslaved and attacked by their neighbors for many centuries and are much diminished.
Their current names are not the names they were known by historically, historically the Kunama were known as the Bazin. Bazin was a powerful kingdom long ago and they also held the Taka region (modern day Kassala) and all of the old Gash Setit province of Eritrea. Today they dominate only the eastern half of Gash Setit.
The Nara people were the favourite target of Habesha slave traders and they called them the Barya, a derogatory term. They used to live throughout northern Eritrea and into Sudan but centuries of raids reduced them to a small pocket north of the Nara people.
Another great kingdom that once ruled a kingdom in what is now Ethiopia and Sudan was the Gumuz kingdom, who ruled as far east as western Gojjam and east and north of Fazogli in Sudan. They are also nearly gone today.
