It was briefly fixed, but now it’s gone again… I wish I could say I have a good first impression of Dragonflight (the content itself is quite nice so far), but the UI, the item level issue, all the bugs and this leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Silver dragon is for rare elites. Normal rares are marked with star.
Well, sad. I don’t even know what differentiates a rare “elite” from just a “rare”. So does that mean all the pre-MoP rares also don’t have a dragon because they are “normal” mobs just named and slightly stronger and rare?

Elite - Rare - Rare Elite
Elite has more HP and is usually tougher to kill than regular enemy.
Rare has about the same HP as regular NPC, but usually drops something a bit nicer. Like a green item.
Rare Elite is like a Rare with drops but comes with Elite HP.
You’ll figure it out

It’s basically a bit of both. It’s your regular elite (more hp, dmg, abilities, whatnot) and a high chance to drop something good like the rares.
Pretty much this, and from what I’ve seen, all of them dropped a green BoE for me. That’s how I got a pretty yellow robe mog once 
(In newer expansions, it’s a blue item in general, if not something like a pet or toy.)

To be honest, never noticed how some rare icons have wings and some don’t.
But anyway, I know what an “elite” is, but in WoW’s history it can mean anything from a harder mob (generally, in Classic, killing one at your level took like your whole mana bar and some kiting / healing) to a raid boss, so it also didn’t feel strange that some rares were much stronger than others.
