I found a newborn kitten, what should its first poop look like?

Question

Found a feral newborn... Does this poop look healthy for a first poop? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 day old | 0.27 lbs

Newborn poop can look like this and can normally be different colors and consistency. They eventually have more normal appearing stools after 2-4 weeks.
