Rookie question: Is this a reel?
Hi guys, Rookie question, don’t eat me!

I transcribed this Kathryn Tickell track years ago but wrote it out in the top octave (ledger lines) because I was writing it out for guitar.
I want to write it out again for the low octave on flute and figured I might as well submit it here at the same time.
I’m a bit of a rookie in terms of classifying tunes though I’ve been an enthusiastic listener all my life. I hear it in 2/2 time. Which I as understand it makes it a reel rather than any of the 4/4 or 2/4 tune variants.
Also the A section is kinda G mixo, whilst the B section is Gdorian-y. Is there a preferred way to deal with this in tune listings?
Obviously I’m not referring to the waltz at the start. Upbeat tune starts from just after 1 minute.
Keep me right please! TIA.
