To be a foul tip, it must meet ALL of the criteria, and above the batter's head is no more and no less important than going directly to the catcher's glove (or hand) or being caught.
I agree with Cecil that going directly to the catcher's glove does not mean a straight line, but I disagree with his call.
This is a caught fly ball because the catcher's glove went to the ball rather than the ball going to the catcher's glove.
IOW, the catcher had to make a play other than just hold on to the ball that was tipped into her glove.
