Everything looks pretty clean so I think just detritus and should eventually get caught by filter.
If you had driftwood (or maybe some open-air HOB filters) could be fungal. If it is increasing quite a bit could be a bacterial bloom.
Normal detritus would be my first thought though. My tank gets a bit after a water change or feeding and clears after several hours. Filter inlets at tank base and detritus at top of tank can struggle to remove it.
Forgot to ask if tank is cycled? New tanks can take some time to settle eg substrate. Seachem clarity may help.
