Interesting - do you have more angles? It is certainly Tachinidae and I am thinking that it might be Linnaemya but the head looks odd, so I am not sure

Looks like a female Phorocera, DC only 3 + 3 supports this. INteresteing locality ! Might be Ph. grandis . Theo |

Thanks! Cerretti signals for Sardinia only Phorocera assimilis, but the diptera of Sardinia are always a surprise. Ciao Pietro |

On seconds looks, seems to simply Ph. obscura. Most common species, though apparerently not recorded from Sardinia ? Theo |

Yes Theo, over the 40% of the diptera that I photograph they are not signalled, also those very common (Lucilia sericata). Ciao Pietro |
