Thanks. Probably just the perspective but the left gear appears to me to be showing a lot more extension.
We'll get some more pictures tonight.

From photos and ADS-B data the helo in the video was apparently 08-72054, a UH-72A Lakota assigned to the D.C. Army National Guard. Most sources seem to indicate that it is a military version of an EC145, not a BK117 but I don't claim to know. It has a red cross on the sides and a small one under the nose. I presume this designates it as a non-combatant in some situations.
