Destiny is special ed with snipers. I used a sniper for the first time about 2 weeks ago in pvp. I never use it in pvp at all, because snip kills are for pu%#$@. While using it I notice foot to body shots a lot of times = head shots. This game is bad on snipers, and can really tell that the retards took their time to lie on the creation of this game. Idiots should of tested it more.

auto assist for headshots is very high

Good 'ol Halo headshot! Nicely executed!

To answer your question, yes it was a [b]headshot[/b] because the yellow numbers indicate for you that you are shooting an enemies critical point. For example: a Vex's critical point is their stomach and for a gaurdian their critical point is their head. (Also known as the weak spot.) - Nice shot by the way, you achieved something that most gaurdians will never do! :)
