Would you say more about mockingbirds? Does Merlin tend to output mockingbird when it’s really a bird that a mockingbird imitates, or output a non-mockingbird when it’s actually a mockingbird imitating that non-mockingbird? (I found an amazing-sounding bird and downloaded Merlin on the spot to id it, and it output mockingbird, that’s why I am especially curious. It was a dark night so I could not visually id at all)

Merlin's pretty at good at identifying mockingbirds by sound alone but once in a while it outputs a bird that's not even expected in your area. It rarely makes the reverse error (identifying the call of a non-mockingbird as the call of a mockingbird) in my experience!
