It certainly looks hemlocky. But then again, I’m more familiar with the Western Hemlock. Does the Eastern version have a droopy top? Didn’t look like it in the wikipedia photos. I was taught many years ago the way to tell at a distance a (western) hemlock from a Douglas fir was that the hemlock hung its head in shame, sharing a name with poison hemlock.
