Microlaena I think. Thinner leaf. But it’s a Poa so should be more clumping. I’ve looked at lucidkey but it’s still pretty Greek to me.

If Microlaena,
short rhizomes will be present,
there is often a pinch towards the leaf tip (https://www.flickr.com/photos/macleaygrassman/8235401209); but not always present.
Small, usually whitish auricles are nearly always present (https://www.flickr.com/photos/macleaygrassman/28460582588).
Plant can vary from nearly hairless to very scabrous, depending on where it is growing.
Ligules are tiny membranes topped with a tiny fringe of hairs; all up 0.3-0.5 mm long (https://www.flickr.com/photos/macleaygrassman/28460582138)
