I'm fairly sure this is Calliphora vomitoria

Tony, why ?

The basicosta seems genuinely black(look at the left one, right on pic), there is no real shading.
And the beard on the left gena seems to be reddish, though agreed, very difficult to see.

To me, therefore, vomitoria is more likely (though not certain).
