Welcome to AAC! It's not a transistor. It is a Light Emitting Diode, LED.

Thanks

Welcome to AAC!

Need more information. It could also be a phototransistor or photodiode.

EDIT: Or a flashing RGB LED (courtesy Adafruit):

Either a LED or Photoresistor. You'll have to run some tests to determine If it is any Of the Above. Good luck.

If you have a Dvm, put it on Diode test and put the meter probes across it both ways, if it lights up it's a Led, if it reads voltage or Ohms, one way it's a photo transistor,,
