Shortcut menu
This is an option if you want to use Microsoft-preferred terminology.
Here's an excerpt from the Microsoft Manual of Style, pg. 234:
context menu Do not use "context menu" or "right-click menu" to refer to the menu that appears when a user clicks the right mouse button in certain areas (or "contexts"), such as in a toolbar region. If you must refer to this menu by name, use "shortcut menu" instead.

Thanks, gvag. Yes, context menu can be used as well in this case; it's just not preferred by Microsoft (which may or may not matter in this context).
