Well it definitely isn't PUTTY
As others have stated, it's a blend of materials often. Some are poly based; some are more a gypsum base; IE: MUD.
PUTTY is an entirely different substance and not strictly meant for walls. In fact many PUTTIES never truly dry. You can equate putty to Childs Modeling Clay.
