Covered call seems incorrect.
Straight call seems correct.

A covered call would be like buying a house and for a price, with an agreement to sell it later for a set amount no matter how much it rises, in return for collecting an option fee.

A call gives the option holder the right to buy that house for a fixed price (the option money). There is nothing "covered" about putting a down payment on a house with the intent to walk away if the prices does not rise.
