It's definitely not a Brute. The backpack thing looks a LOT like the blue Elite armor from the first game looked from behind. Their hunched over posture is also very Elite, and you can't deny that no other Covenant species so far have heads the shape of giant bananas. You can even see what I believe is the upper jaw and an eye there beyond the ugly helmet.
The only thing that confuses me a little is that we can't see its legs, and that the thing on its front is ENORMOUS and not Elite-like at all.
I'm more concerned about the fellow behind him. It looks almost like a Grunt but with human proportions and a radical suit.
