Geoff:
Indeed she wasn't. If you look at the moments before Sirius was hit...

"Only one pair was still battling, apparently unaware of the new 
arrival. Harry saw Sirius duck Bellatrix's jet of red light:he was 
laughing at her.
"Come on, you can do better than that!" he yelled, his voice echoing 
round the cavernous room.
The second jet of light hit him squarely on the chest."

(OOTP "Beyond the Veil" p.710 UK edition)

There has always been speculation as to who sent the second spell and 
what it was, but Bellatrix's first attempt wasn't an Avadra Kedavra.
