It's a gooseneck but there's no ball in the bed of the truck. It looks like the ball came out or broke off.
Turnover ball - bet they forgot to push in the retainer pin. Sucks! I did that once, but the ball pulled out while loading a tractor (in 4WD) Stopped tractor, pulled pickup out from under, dropped jacks, backed tractor down (gently). Then started from ground zero. Embarrassing, but no damage.
