Details:
Looks like the Northern Taurids are still active. The moon is bright so good thing this meteor was also bright. We could get a good show if the Leonids also produce some bright meteors.
I've added the star map image to show that this was indeed a Northern Taurid and not a Leonid. This meteor was captured at 04:43:58 UTC, while Leo was still below the horizon in the east, opposite to where this meteor appeared.
