yeah, she appears to be full of eggs. keep an eye on her, especially early early in the morning. when the first light of the day hits the tank, you will often see her laying eggs. the eggs will mostly get eaten, but in that substrate, some will fall in between the gravel. you may even see developing fry below the substrate at the edge of the tank.
if you do not see her belly shrink, she may be egg bound.

To help answer your question, I refer you to the following thread: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f82/is-my-fish-pregnant-a-newbie-must-read-311417.html
I realize it's an egg layer. I asked if it was full of eggs or what? That thread helps me 0%. I've never had fish lay eggs before and I was curious.
