No, that is not a recharacterization.
It depends on when and how you withdrew the money.
Was it withdrawn in 2018 or 2019?
Did you specifically ask the IRA custodian for a "return of contributions" and did they return any earnings along with the excess?
Or did you just withdrew the money as a normal distribution on your own?
