Narrative:

After completing a trip, 2 days later, my chief pilot asked how we banged a wingtip. This was the first I knew about it. Evidently, as we taxied in, our left wingtip hit the wingtip of another B-767 on our left. We were on the lead in line and were being waved in by a ground marshaller. Upon investigation of the incident, it was learned that there was insufficient room between the gates for 2 B-767's side by side. Our aircraft was light and fortunately the wing nearly completely cleared the other aircraft's wing. No structural damage occurred. Only a broken lens cover for the aft navigation light.
