Thinness of leaves suggests P. gaudichaudii, but have gone with P. aria because of their hairiness and nature of seed head - anthers still fresh while style finished.

Mike. You have seen it in the hand. What do you think?

To make it more confusing, Skipper (Hesperiidae) Ocybadistes walkeri (Greenish Grass-dart) on 8 Feb 2019 seems to show a different plantago at the same site.
