Hi Richard, Bernd, and List,

Bernd is right (as usual), this is probably not an H. Sometimes the
amount of visual iron can be deceiving. I have seen some L's and LL's
with plentiful metal fleck. But it's almost surely a type-4 - not
enough chondrules for type 3 and too many for type 5 or 6. So this
could be an L4, LL4, maybe an H4, or perhaps some combination or
transition like L/LL4.

Best regards,

MikeG
