That chopper looks to me like a 3 rotor Huey or a  Mitubishi,
more likely the latter. It certainly is a conventional helicopter
of some type. it has elevons, tail rotor, stinger to protect tail
rotor from tail low landings. It also looks like a chin mounted
"Tyler Mount" under the forward cabin, which as you probably know
Bob, is a gyroscopically controlled video or film camera used to
take aerial shots without any vibration showing up in the shot.
It's a steady-cam in the sky. It might have been up there getting
aerial footage for a movie. It could have been a search light,
but does not look like the usual type.

Kevin Randle, being a helicopter pilot, might recognize the
silhouette if he's monitoring this list.

It shouldn't be forgotten that the reason that helos hover for
long periods of time is because they can. That's what they are
built for.
