That's actually a morningstar but close enough. Are you sure the flail gets an advantage vs shields? Ya it's called a morningstar, though non-game sources tend to use "morningstar" to mean a style of spiked mace, while the weapon many games call a "morningstar" is generally called a "mace and chain" so it's a bit confusing. Just me being a stick in the mud.
I am pretty sure both weapons should and do get the "#flail" bonus against shields.
