Let me explain. In Alien: Covenant, it's shown that David grew the facehuggers from experimenting with the "alive" black goo. This is the same stuff that floats into the orifaces of the Covenant crew that births Neomorphs. Now I'm the film, David explains that "it either kills you outright, or incubates to spawn a hybrid form." This killing outright is what happens to Dr. Holloway. However, when the Black Goo transferred to Shaw, it was fed and grown in Shaw's uterus to become a Trilobite. In the same sense, David took the black goo and developed the facehuggers through a similar process once again using Shaw's uterus, making facehuggers smaller, more developed Trilobites. This makes Trilobites proto-facehuggers in a sense. Anyway, all of this to say that the Trilobite impregnating the Engineer is merely a bigger version of the "sentient" Motes impregnating the Covenant crew, making the Deacon simply an Engineer Neomorph!! This accounts for the size differences as well. Also if you look very closely, the Deacon isn't blue. It's grayish-white. The blue comes from the Engineer blood and the lighting.
