The only one that come to my mind is Muscina pascuorum, uniform bluish grey colour, and very large lower calypter adjoining the scutellum margin, but I can't see the red tip of the scutellum...

A month ago in Azerbaijan I collected 2 specimens of M.pascuorum. Both very large and very bluish, so I was sure I collected Calliphora till the moment I looked in a microscop. So, I'm entirely with Theo and Stephane.
