Can anyone tell me what this grass is? I’ve always called out woods grass because it grows on trails but it has invaded my clover plots. The plant snap app has given me 5 different species and none are local to the USA.

I think it’s called stilt grass.

There was some with the clover last year and I mowed it at the end of August and it "died" off leaving the clover to take over. This year there is a lot more of it but I just mowed it so I'm hoping for the same result.
Definitely stiltgrass. Like so many invasives, its hard to eradicate. Yet another reason to have to buy glyphosate.
It's more of a seed head, with the occasional purple fleck to it. It does make killer brush in material for duck season. It's all over a few of the spots we hunt and once its dry, it's easy to rip up and makes great camouflage.
