Is this a blood clot?

I’m on day 7 of my recovery of all four of my teeth out, I’ve been using the syringe and I was opening my jaw noticing some stiffness. I looked in the mirror and saw this loose thing coming out of my lower extraction site. It doesn’t look like the clot I have on my other site but also it’s stringy and brownish yellow. I’ve been worried sick about dry socket the entire time and after this guy made its way out of my mouth it doesn’t hurt as much to open my jaw. Was it loose dissolvable stitching? I’ll take any input!
