I will think this look very likely as a Brown-backed Needletail! A great record! possibly the first record in China??

Congratulations! Did you get any photos of the other needletails? It would be great for a comparison!

Yes, the second bird looks like a Silver-backed Needletail, the grey throat is much more well defined and as John said the needles are much longer in the first bird. Great find indeed!
