Narrative:
After entering left downwind runway xx ZZZ; aircraft Y was seen approaching the airport from the north. When I was abeam runway xx approach end; aircraft Y was traveling southbound; approaching my aircraft head-on; co-altitude; and had made no radio calls. Aircraft Y then turned eastbound and reentered the pattern behind my aircraft. I made standard radio calls while in the pattern. I estimate that the other aircraft came within 300 ft. Nose-to-nose from my aircraft. I did not have to maneuver and was able to maintain my downwind track.
