I'm pretty sure the wights are what the dead turn into like the little girl in the prologue of episode 1,or what attacked Commander Mormont and Jon set on fire. The White Walkers or Others are the creepy looking ones we have seen on the dead horse at the Fist of the First Men or that Sam killed in the woods using the obsidian blade. This guy had a different look to him than the wights or white walkers we have seen, and he apparently has the power to create the White Walkers. Not sure if he is supposed to be the Great Other that Melisandre refers to, or if he is the Night King as HBO indicated in its website before taking it down. But I do think he is different somehow from the wights and the white walkers, he certainly looks different.
