A photo of the mature seed head would help.

Not yet in flower. Given previous distribution, most likely B. major which is the dominant Briza sp in DSW. Those truncated seedheads are all that is available ATM. These plants are sick -which is good because they are serious competitors against the native grass spp. I have more detailed images of the rust spots which is my real interest here. I will add the rust images as a sighting later.
