Answer:

Waning gibbous.

Step-by-step explanation:

The same side that you see in one place of the continent at night, you will also see in other place on earth, regardless of the hemisphere. There is however a slight difference, but not ecognizable to the human eye thus Waning Gibbous will also be seen everywhere else in the night sky that night.
