Didn't see it, but a loud low helicopter flew over my house just now. Shook my windows. Nothing showing up on ads.

Two evenings ago I was looking at the ADS-B website here in Greenville, NC and I saw a military helicopter at about 5000 feet going south coming just to our east of the house. I went outside and we had a heavy cloud deck but there was a clearing way to our south. I heard it and hoped it would fly into the clearing. I did and got pictures. Below is a cropped photo blown up. What type of helicopter did I see? It was flying away from me.
