How do I recognize an Alien Commander In UFO Extraterrestrials

Question

I've captured several aliens in UFO: Extraterrestrials (gold edition). However, every new alien I capture is immediately executed because he/she/it is not a commander.

How do I recognize which aliens are commanders on the battlefield so that I know which one to capture?

Answer

Normally when spotting an alien a red icon shows up in the bottom right of the screen. Double clicking this icon will take you to the alien in question.

Example of spotting an alien who is not a commander.

When encountering a commander the same icon will show up, however this time it will have a yellow border. This is the easiest way to spot alien commanders on the battlefield. A second sign you're dealing with an Alien commander is the different color of the aliens skin, for example in the screenshot below the Vipon commander has a green skin while regular Vipons have brown skin.
