Actually, with the tail qua main line (when taken away from the eye on the side that loading will draw it), and then the eye collapsed, the bowline = Ashley's stopper.This looks like an Ashley's stopper with the slack not pulled out of that loop
The knot in question is the farmer's loop --a fun knot to tie, wrapping the line over the hand thrice, then jumping center wrap over one side; that side (now in center) over the opposite side; that side (newly centered) back over the first side, and then (original center part now returned) pull the center up and away to form the eye & the knot.
