IT is an Ectophasia, it looks a bit odd, though, can't tell the species.

Thanks Theo,
Is it really a male?
Cerretti signals for Sardinia only oblonga and leucoptera, not crassipennis.

I didn't claim it to be male, it is quite hard to see the difference in Ectophasia.
Sardinia is very little studied, I have no doubt whatsoever that crassipennis occurs on Sardinia.
Nevertheless, this could be oblonga.
