it should be considered as polar covalent ....no complete transfer is taking place still...there is 'sharing'

In reality, no bond is 100% ionic or 100% covalent. Even homonuclear diatomics can not really be said to be 100% covalent. HF is a highly polar covalent bond, NaCl is almost entirely polar, H2 is covalent for most purposes. In fact there are two different bonds observed in HF, one is the strong polar covalent bond, another is the weaker hydrogen bond. This is why HF is a liquid a room temperature even though HCl and HBr are gas despite their higher molecular mass.

It isn't that big for it to be an ionic bond.
