That is what is known as a "silver skull". Skulls that are just for fun. You may notice interesting effects when you score headshots now.
Only gold skulls give you achievements. They are the ones that give you extra points in the meta game, but they also increase the difficulty, such as removing all programmed tactical errors from the AI, or halving the ammo supply.
