We present results on the reconstruction of electromagnetic (EM) activity from photons produced in charged current $ν_μ$ interactions with final state $π^0$s. We employ a fully-automated reconstruction chain capable of identifying EM showers of $\mathcal{O}$(100) MeV energy, relying on a combination of traditional reconstruction techniques together with novel machine-learning approaches. These studies demonstrate good energy resolution, and good agreement between data and simulation, relying on the reconstructed invariant $π^0$ mass and other photon distributions for validation. The reconstruction techniques developed are applied to a selection of $ν_μ + {\rm Ar} \rightarrow μ+ π^0 + X$ candidate events to demonstrate the potential for calorimetric separation of photons from electrons and reconstruction of $π^0$ kinematics.
