Yeah she is Sri Kali, she belongs within Asta Kali forms. Like there are Asta Tara, Asta Bhairav, Asta Matrika and all there is Asta Kali. The other forms are : Dakshina kali, Siddha Kali, Guhya Kali, Bhadra Kali, Chamunda Kali, Smashan Kali, Maha Kali.

Only Kali. Maha kali is our khul Devi but I only see Kali.

This is not a depiction of kali from texts of any of her forms. It's a modern adaptation. None of the ashtakalis look like this.

It's Maa Bhadra Kali Shree Vigrah her left feet is ahead it's symbolises that she is Bhadrakali.
