These don't fit any plumage of Russet Sparrow, I don't think.
 
I think they must be very rather fresh juveniles of one of the Rosefinch species Carpodocus etc.
 
The only adult female they resemble, in Clement , Harris and Davis's  Finches and Sparrows is Przewalski's Urocynchramus pylzowi.
 
Interested to hear what those with real Far-west China experience say!

Actually reviewing these, not sure hwy they aren't just Common Rosefinches.
