I’ve once done it to my opponent but I want to know what’s the name of this mate because it’s one of my favorite checkmate traps
What’s the name of this mate?

it’s a 4 move checkmate but not scholar’s mate
If white plays f4 (bird’s opening), black sacks a pawn (e5), fxe5 then Queen checks and pawn is forced to block it then bishop to e7 then pawn takes Queen then bishop takes pawn
Moves: f4, e5, fxe5, Qh4+, g3 (forced), Be7, gxh4, Bxh4#
