I am thinking that "but" is a conjunction. http://www.chompchomp.com/terms/coordinatingconjunction.htm

However, but is used as a conjunction, though rarely. But is very seldom a preposition. When it is used as a preposition, but means the same as except—Everyone ate frog legs but Jamie. But usually functions as a coordinating conjunction.
