But I never saw anyone refer to it as a huey.

I 'fess up: I think I did somewhere on one of these earlier threads, thinking that "Huey" would imply that it was one of those big military helicopters. I am NO expert in identifying types of military aircraft, but I can tell the difference between a civilian or news helicopter and a big military one. The one in that clip looks a lot like one of the big military choppers that I've often seen fly overhead (often on groups of three or four) over the years.

Yep, I called it a huey too but I meant a chinook. I have always confused the names of those two choppers. The chinook is the big chopper with a rotor on each end. Next the spelling police will come in and attack from that angle.
