[Maine-birds] Vireo mimicry

So, I have a very loud presumed Red eyed vireo staked out in the top of a very tall black cherry tree. One of several vocal birds at the edges of the yard. They are very loud. This bird, however, is intermingling mimic calls of barn swallows and the local Broad-winged hawk between somewhat muddled here-I-ams calls. So I can't find much on Red-eyeds mimicry but there is some on Warbling vireos copying red eyeds. So, do I have a creative Warbling copying a Red eyed and other birds, or a talented Red-eyed?

And no, I don't have a recording yet.
