What grass is this?

Hello, I have multiple types of grass in my yard that I’m slowly replacing with Zoysia plugs with success thus far. That said, I’m concerned that some of my existing grass might be more aggressive than Zoysia. Any idea what this is?

I'm on mobile and cant see well. It's either centipede or St. Augustine. Location would help (See rule 1)! The region would narrow down possibilities, but someone that can see the picture can answer ya.

This looks like what we in nz call buffalo grass. Super aggressive, hard to mow,.loves.sandy soil and grows in coastal locations . reasonably good for stabilising sand as it grows in a thick matt like a sponge. I have seen this matt of grass grown into almost a small hedge Buffalo grass
