I found online a comprehensive list of Metar codes

This work sheet may be of use and generally the system of Okta is used to denote coverage in a Metar, but I would say
L1 Clouds: Cumulus (Cu) with little vertical extent
but it could also be
L5 Clouds: Stratocumulus (Sc) not from spreading out of Cumulus (Cu)
But I will agree with Ron on this one, its BKN (5-6 Okta based on the picture in my opinion)
