I am attaching a screenshot.
My workflow is as follows
1) I use indesign to create an epub.
2) Unzipping the EPUB and in the OEPBS/Image folder, you have two images. 203.png and the cover image.
3) Upon further inspection I noticed that the content.opf file has this line: <meta content="x203.png" name="cover" />

I don't use InDesign, but I am assuming InDesign is also being "helpful" and generating a separate Cover image for you. This might be a relevant help file for you to turn this option off, see "
EPUB Cover":

Because you probably forgot to set the "Cover" semantic in the actual non-"203.png" file that you ACTUALLY want to be used as the cover. In Sigil, right click on the image you want to be the cover, and press Add Semantics - Cover.
KindleGen looks for this "Cover" semantic when generating the MOBI/KF8 files. When you deleted 203.png, KindleGen probably complained because the "Cover" was still set as 203.png.
Also, you may want to insert an actual Cover HTML page. Sigil makes it really easy with Tools - Add Cover:
