A subspecies is allowed to be far different in appearence than the main branch species. Domestic dogss are proven to be subspecies of the grey wolf, and aside from malamutes, they look nothing alike. Claiming that it's a new species is quite irational, due to the fact it is in many ways similar to Rathian. And the concept of it being a mimic rathian would be good if it was weaker than the basic Rathian. It wouldn't even be able to draw in a predator due to its color. It most likely is a legitamate subspecies, that probably is nomadic and solitary with a large gestation period, and how long they last in the egg/s. Also, may someone please tell me why does everyone instantly expect a subspecies is either a mutation or a female?
