It's a breastplate. Helms and gauntlets aren't part of armor. They're independent of the armor. You can have a helm and gauntlets and not be wearing any armor, or they could be a leather helm and gloves, or they could be a top hat. It doesn't matter. So, that pretty clearly could be a breastplate. But it could also be pretty much any heavy armor. There could be more armor under that skirt, after all.
The bottom line is that DnD/pathfinder gives you a lot of discretion in your armor and how it looks.

Breastplate: Covering only the torso, a breastplate is made up of a single piece of sculpted metal.
Full Plate: This metal suit includes gauntlets, heavy leather boots, a visored helmet, and a thick layer of padding that is worn underneath the armor. Each suit of full plate must be individually fitted to its owner by a master armorsmith, although a captured suit can be resized to fit a new owner at a cost of 200 to 800 (2d4 × 100) gold pieces
While a helmet and gauntlets can be added to armor that does not include them many armors do in fact include them. My assessment of the armor was also based on more than D&D style armor. That looks like fully fitted heavy armor not a light or medium armor. I figure that the armor includes leg armor that is covered by the skirt.

I'd say agile breast plate along with a matching helm, pauldrons, and gauntlets; possibly with an armored kilt attached.
(Notice how the chest plate is actually made in two parts, presumably for better flexibility and movement? That says agile breastplate to me.)

This reminds me of scale armor in its layering but by appearance is something metallic with padding underneath. Therefore I'd say it an eastern medium armor of some kind. Plus it's not as bulky as a heavy armor would be unless it's the lightest available. Brew where is this pics address I'd like to use it.
