Setaria pumila is similar to S.glauca, but has smaller spikelets (upto 2.25mm long) than S.glauca (3mm long). The wrinlkes on the upper glume are fine in S.pumila and coarse in S.glauca. S.glauca is also considered a polyploid form of S.pumila, with 2n=18 for pumila and 2n=36 for glauca. Though both the species are found throughout India, S.pumila is the common grass out of the two in peninsular India whereas S.glauca is more common in the Gangetic plain and sub Himalayan tracts

The colour and size looks closer to S. pumila but to be sure measurements and observations of floral parts is needed.

Seeing the relative size of the spikelets to the bristles and the locality, I would go with Setaria glauca. I am yet to find any Setaria pumila in Northern part of the Indian subcontinent.
