liquidy

Somewhat like water

Liquidy describes something having qualities of liquid—flowing, wet, or not quite solid.

The word is informal and often describes textures that are more fluid than expected: The batter was too liquidy, a liquidy consistency.

It captures that in-between state when something should be thicker but isn't.
