The a/c in these pictures is an A321.
There is an airwortiness directive on this sub-model of the A320 series which concerns landing in gusty crosswinds, or if residual icing is suspected. You must land with Flap 3, due to concerns about a/c controllability in Flap Full.
Was flap full used in this case?
It's a bit difficult to see from the photo's.
