Not sure I'd call it a lie according to these definitions...

A lie is an assertion that is believed to be false

a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth

We don't need to call it a lie to ackowledge it still carries the same moral burden, judgement and implications.

I'd call it deception.
