s/b: I'd call the stratofractus layer, broken at estimated FL035 Furthermore, given no other clouds in a 360o radious, I'd call and additional broken layer of CS at estimated FL250. By definition I can't esitmate higher than that w/out PIREP. And margin for error on estimated high etage layer is +/- 5000', so they could be as high as 30000. Quite unusual for cirrostratus. However, FL250 is reasonable considering the contrail sinking ~10k feet w/in 10-15 minutes.
