If this is an isolated incident, it's probably easier to deal with it by leaving the particular admin a polite note explaining the misunderstanding, or by working through deletion review (WP:DRV). Unless you're trying to get at some greater trend or history of bad decisions. I know I've made a few mistakes, but once they're pointed out to me, I'm usually willing to correct them, or at least request/accept review from the community.
An erroneous speedy doesn't need DRV - any admin can restore it. (This is so that speedy patrollers don't have to be infallible.) This is of course problematic for non-admins.
