Full Moon, but unless you live in the tropics the moon cannot be directly overhead.
Full Moon
Whenever you see the moon, its shape is described by one of the names given to the phases.
9 PM is 9 hours after noon, so the moon is about 9 hours behind the sun, or 9/24of the way from one New Moon to the next one. That's 3/8 or 11/2 quarters,so the moon is halfway between its first and second quarter, which is right inthe middle of "waxing gibbous".All speaking approximately and roughly, of course.
The lunar phase that precedes a full moon in the lunar cycle is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs when the moon is more than half illuminated but not yet full.
Full Moon. I think it could be more or less any phase. The phase of the Moon doesn't change much from moonrise until the Moon sets. True. But it is only the Full Moon that rises as the sun sets, and so is highest in the sky ... due south for northern-hemisphere observers ... at Midnight.

Any specific lunar phase can be observed only at the time when that lunar phase occurs, and not again for 29.53 days thereafter.
The lunar phase that precedes a full moon in the lunar cycle is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs when the moon is more than half illuminated but not yet full.
The exact time the moon reaches it's highest point in the sky varies with the moon's phases, but using the four major moon phases as an example, the New Moon is highest at noon, First Quarter is highest at sunset, Full Moon is highest at midnight and Third Quarter is highest at sunrise.
