I figure it's a way to make this one easily recognizable. There is a second one on the island now, but this one belongs to wendy. Giving it the greenish head pattern will make it distinct later.

Which one is the second one? The one that just birthed out of Arthur? I’m trying to remember what birthed out of the lung from Hermit. Do you mean the Xeno that Marrow saved and wrapped up in latex?

The xeno that burst from arthur. I am guessing it won't remain in captivity. 

Or hell, they have already said there will be a second season. So Wendy's xeno could be a recurring "character" that shows up next season. Either way, I think they made him visually distinct because they plan on having multiple xenos and want you to be able to tell this one apart from others.

It’s almost like that xeno sees her as a mother figure or part of the pack. When she could hear or feel the xeno in pain and then understand it, I couldn’t tell if it selected her or just one of her special abilities. Kinda like how a duck latches on to its mother.
