A very dark Tachina male, indeed.

Might be magnicornis, not sure about other possibilities on Sardinia

Thanks Theo
according to Cerretti there are two Tachina of magnicornis group in Sardinia: magnicornis and corsicana.
In T. corsicana should't be face and abdomen pruinese, the wing shaded.

I have no experience with corsicana.
