Grammatically it could be either one. In this case the inflection ( rise in pitch ) makes it a question.

Canβt we call it (Oh, a fight?) a rising intonation?
To me they mean the same thing in this context, so yes. Intonation is more broad than pitch, but it includes pitch. I usually think of a rise in pitch for a question.
