Auto transmission fluid

Hi, I'm wondering if this is metal shavings or carbon on my transmission drain plug?

If it sticks to the magnet, it's probably metal.

If you have a lot of miles on the car and/or it has been a long time or miles driven since your last ATF change, a bit of metal on the magnet isn't surprising.

This was mine at 56,000 Miles on a 2013 Fit Sport Auto.
