My phone app showed this was unknown so that's why I commented. Since I got this correct, perhaps I'm getting better at plants :-)

@ Cindy some of the names for this plant are: Slim Oat, slender oat, slender wild oats

Hi Emma, I believe this is slim oat but I'm not by a computer to verify. The best sight for this would be Calflora. Good luck!
