I have bought this like Lycoris aurea from China, but from the color me it does not seem to be Lycoris aurea, someone could identify?

No idea! It is much more slender and "feathery" than L. albiflora, isn't it?

I went to PBS to see what
L. caldwellii
looked like, because I didn't know it.... found this photo from forumist Bill Dijk ( who will, I hope, forgive my posting his picture here
)
It is of
Lycoris albiflora
and does show a very spidery flower and crinkled petals..... I believe these hybrids are found quite often in China, too.......

Alessandro,
Do the leaves appear in fall or spring?
If spring then you need to know if the leaves have a faint white stripe down the center of the leaves. Without -- I would put it near shaanxiensis (but I doubt it), with -- I would not say it is either chinensis or guangxiensis.
So, I think your plant has fall produced leaves and would be closest to Xalbiflora or Xhoudyshelii.

What about a slightly darker colour form of
Lycoris elsae
? Flowers very reminiscent of my
elsae
, including the shading to pink on the anthers etc? Definitely more yellow than my version of
elsae
though.
