Each time you create an expression library item you have a few options in the add stage that will detirmine the icon used.

Javascript Expression File

A javascript expression file will have an icon that is white

3D Javascript Expression File

A 3D layer that has a javascript expression file will have an icon that is red

Extendscript Expression File

An extendscript expression file will have an icon that is blue

3D Extendscript Expression File

A 3D extendscript expression file will have an icon that is turqoise

Each file icon has the words JS or ES. However, due to After Effects's scriptUI it is impossible to load images with a higher quality and thus the writing is barely readable and it's better to go by the file colour.
