Picture is a bit blurry, but the gravid spot is quite pronounced even with blurriness. She does look quite squat too. I would guess yes, but it is possible it's the angle and shadows. Try taking pictures with all the lights off in the room, light on in the tank, and see if your camera has a maco setting.

Behind the abdomen, there is always a spot there. When she is pregnant, it will darken up quite a bit. Thoses the fry developing. They are blocking the light that would normally pass through the body.
