Hello Ayaan,
Good question, but not that easy to answer. My first impulse is to say no, it is not altostratus. Usually altostratus is more featureless and looks like a veil without distinct cloud structure. But then what is it? Your image might show a layer of stratocumulus. That is a species that is much lower than stratocumulus. Difficult to judge from just one picture, but maybe your memory of the situation might clear this up? I hope this helps.
Btw: in the main menu of the CAS site (above) you find the entry Resources. Click on it and find the sub-entry ‘Cloud Library’. Going there you will find lots of examples of all the main cloud species, varieties and others together with most optical phenomena. This is a great source to check any spotting you are not sure of.
