could the brown bird be Great Rosefinch?


the very faded photo shows a bird with a rufous chest black eye mask and grey head.....with a red tail which appeared long..first i thought shrike....could it be rufous backed redstart ? do any shrike species in this area have red tails?


the 3rd 4t image is taken high up in khunjerab national park not far from the chinese border......maybe 4400 metres above sea level......what could it be..it does not match anything in my books
