It looks like a servo; it acts like a servo, but it's more than just a servo! We got a factory to custom-make these classic 'standard' sized hobby servos with a twist - the feedback (potentiometer wiper) line is brought out to a fourth white wire.

Servo positive supply lead. Adafruit Learn wiring states SERVO POWER wire connects to USB, and product datasheet lists 4.8 V and 6 V operating parameters.
Servo ground lead. Adafruit Learn wiring states SERVO GROUND wire connects to GND.
Servo control signal lead. Adafruit Learn wiring states SERVO SIGNAL wire connects to A1 in the example circuit.
Analogue position feedback from the servo potentiometer wiper. Adafruit states the feedback signal is brought out to a fourth white wire and can be read with an analogue input.
