Default oxalis a very red clover plant

A plant that I had for years thought was a species of clover. Anyway, was
wondering if it is nitrogen fixing as real clover or alfalfa or trefoil.

No, dear. Only legumes & certain other plants harbor nitrogen fixing bacteria.
Oxalis weeds have no redeeming features.
