Google announced back in February 2016 that it planned to improve Gmail security by adding new security indicators to the service.
One of the improvements was the introduction of a new red question mark icon in place of the profile photo, avatar or blank icon to highlight unauthenticated emails.
Google announced yesterday that the roll out of the feature started, and that Gmail users on the web and on Android will soon notice the new red question mark icon for unauthenticated messages.
[...]
Google's method for determining the authenticity of a message is the following one: if a message can't be authenticated using DKIM or Sender Policy Framework (SPF), it is marked as unauthenticated.
Gmail, on the web, displays profile icons only when an email is selected, but not in the email listing itself. This means that you will have to click on a message to find out if it is authenticated or not.

Is it a problem for you? Apparently not. Are you also every other person in the whole world? No.
