Narrative:

I was the pilot monitoring. We had received clearance for the freeway visual approach to lga. When approaching dials; at approximately 2650' MSL; we saw a fairly large and black drone pass within 20' of our right wing. The drone appeared to be a disc shape; of the 6+ engine variety; vs 4 engine kind. I reported the near miss with ny approach and advised them of altitude and color. No evasive actions were taken as it had passed us within a second or two of us noticing. Later; I received a call advising that the feds were investigating the incident. Obviously; there was no transponder on the aircraft; and it was so small it likely didn't appear on the controller's primary radar. Short of banning all drones; I don't know what could have been done to avoid this type of encounter in the future.
