Yes, I am Sunni. All Salafi are.
Personally I prefer to call myself 'just a Muslim' instead of sticking with a label.
Basically Salafi are Sunni and Sunni are about Salafism. It's not a separate sect. The Salafi methodology opposes what creates division and calls on Muslims to unite upon core values. It's a movement and there are adherents to the Salafi methodology in every school of thought within Sunni Islam. A true Salafi is actually a Muslim from the first three generations of Islam, the companions and the generation after them and the one after that. Those generations are called the "salaf us-saalih" (the pious predecessors). The Salafi movement refers back to the consensus of those generations and their methodology in interpretation and legislation. That's actually the basis of Sunni Islam. Nowadays there are a four main schools of thought (madh-hab) and a few smaller ones. They don't oppose each other. They are the result of there being more valid opinions on some matters, but they believe in general consensus and honour each other as being correct. Sunni Muslims follow these schools of thought, which differ only slightly in later legislation (fiqh) and how to derive that from the Qur'an and the Sunnah. The Salafi movement is not a madhhab or separate sect. It's about the basis of all of them: Interpretation of the Qur'an and Sunnah upon the methodology of the salaf us-saalih. The great Imams that the schools of thought/fiqh were named after did just that. The Salafi movement is about reviving and reminding about the basis before all division (instead of just following a later school of thought and its methodology without referring it back to where it came from). Modern Salafi (try to) more strictly adhere to what would be condoned by the early generations and stay away from newly invented matters (bidah, innovation) in the religion. It's largely about a preference to re-assess authentic evidence (and honouring authentic scholarship) as opposed to wandering off in wild philosophy and possibly creating conjecturism by involving personal opinion. It's a more evidence-based approach. This is possible from within any of the schools of thought as well as separate from them AND it leaves room for several valid opinions on matters. It's a methodology, not a sect or separate group or school of thought. It's actually a call for unity upon core values.
I suggest you look up more in the link page I gave. Those are articles by people of knowledge. This is just a quick brainstorm by me as introduction and I'm not of any level close to any of them. I tried to stick to what I (think to) know is backed by what authentic scholars say (which actually is part of salafi methodology ;) )
This is what I can say about it at the moment with my limitations in time and knowledge. I can't do much better in between waking up and my first morning coffee. lol
