This one looks a little different to the other grasses in the area. I don't know if this is in the book I have been using. Bromus sp.?

Matt in our area wild oats have an open appearance where there are gaps between the different parts of the seed head while in Bromus they are pretty tightly packed

Well the plant looks well spaced so I guess that would exclude Bromus.

Definitely Avena sp.(genus). I can't confirm to species.
