Narrative:
On localizer and GS for ILS runway 13 at lga; as the pm. Fully configured; at final approach speed (135-140 kias) and approximately 1200 feet MSL; I noticed an object at 11:30 high in the windscreen. The object appeared to be triangular in shape; red and black color; and had the capability to turn itself. As we were descending on the localizer; the object appeared to be climbing and turning left; directly above our flight path; on a diverting course. As we neared; I believed it to be fixed wing drone; with a delta wing shape; but unsure of propulsion method (forward vs aft motor). Notified lga tower that a drone was on final at 1400 feet.
