No.
Explanation:
Since both hydrogens have equal electronegativity, the bond is therefore non-polar, and electrons spend equal time around each nucleus.
However, since both elements are non-metals, and share electrons in their bonds, it is a covalent bond.
So no, it is not a polar covalent bond, but a non-polar covalent bond.
