Yes, that is the remains of the partial Solar eclipse, which was exact in Christchurch on 14 October around 4pm.
The Moon is between the Sun and Earth in this instance.

>If you know your correct birthtime, you are able to see times when it is beneficial, ie. best time to do things, when it is better to wait
