the only difference being

The only differece being that-

In this phrase, the word being, I think, is used as a present participle.

Am I correct?

Someone taught me the word difference is noun but being used as adjective in this phrase. So difference being in here is noun.

Please let me know its grammartical structure.

"being" is a participle and "difference" is a noun. I don't see any way it can be considered an adjective.
