It kind of depends on what your ear hears when you play it. That example is in D Mixolydian because D sounds like the root, and the Am (the V of D) makes it mixolydian because it holds the minor seven of D, so it can't be straight D major. You could still say to someone that it's in D, and hopefully they would recognize the Am and know it's D Mixolydian.
