possibly as I wrote, there is an article on wiki that is about how to distinguish Phyllobius or Polydrusus but I am still not sure enough to decide which one it is
How about: Polydrusus sericeus http://www.tuin-thijs.com/kevers-weevils-engels.htm
Feredin @ I wouldn't be so sure about the ID 1st of all Polydrusus cervinus ( http://www.pbase.com/elainegeorges/image/97485344 ) can also be bluer, 2nd my weevil is not so much green as it is turquoise or blue than green although on the photos that may not be so evident. 3rd yours seems more like Polydrusus corruscus, but I have already mention that is quite tricky because many of those gray can also be found in colors varying from blue to green for ex. like this one http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/22148043 Tnx Micolo ;)
