Name that Algae?

Does it look grey in person? If so, I'm thinking Black Beard Algae. If it's really a shade of green (hard to tell for sure I. the image as it's backlit) it's more likely a green hair algae? My bacopa looks a lot like this in a jar I kept by the window for too long.

MJ Aquascaping on YT has a good video on all the basic algae types, why they occur and how to treat them - well worth a look for more info.

Yes it's more of a grey black in nature.
