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 .

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

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

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

Lucilia sericata !! Great find !
I'm sure you got very interesting Diptera as well.
