What kind of amoeba?

Something new for me. At first blush as I was scanning, this appeared to be Heliazoa. However, the axopodia were not rigid and seemed much longer than I would expect, more like Foraminifera. But there was no test as I would expect for Foraminifera. It is also quite mobile -- playback is in real time. At the end of the video, the organism comes into contact with debris and begins to spread like an amoeba would. Can anyone ID this?
