I think it is the "Silent-Tiger variation of the Scotch Gambit"!
From Wikipedia:
After 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4, the most important continuations are:
4.Nxd4 (Main line)
4...Bc5 (Classical Variation)
4...Nf6 (Schmidt Variation)
4...Qh4!? (Steinitz Variation)
4...Qf6
4...Nxd4?!
4...Bb4+?!
4.Bc4 (Scotch Gambit)
4.c3 (Göring Gambit)
4.Bb5
"C45 : Scotch Game #3" according to the lichess.org
After 6. Bc4+
Black should have replied 6. ... d5
and win the game.
