That's Admiral Ackbar. Ackbar was the leader of the Rebel military in the final battle scene of "Return of the Jedi." He's a relatively minor character with very little screen time, but he's most famous for belting "It's a trap!" when the Rebels realize the Empire lured them into a trap.

It's also a scene that has spawned meme after meme on the internet over the years.

There's a small chance this is just another alien that's the same species as Ackbar, but an earlier leak appears to show the character in the movie. There's a very good chance we'll get to see Ackbar again when "The Force Awakens" comes out on December 18.
