Is a woman's maniyy (ejaculate) yellow and thin, with a smell like that of palm pollen or dough, or is it thick, as the Imam in Algeria said?

Among the characteristics of a woman's maniyy (procreative fluid) is that it is thin and yellow, as authentically narrated in Muslim from Anas ibn Malik, from Umm Sulaym, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Yes, from where else would resemblance come? Indeed, a man's fluid is thick and white, and a woman's fluid is thin and yellow. Whichever of them predominates or precedes, from it will be the resemblance." This is also explicitly stated by the Malikis.
