Narrative:

Prior to OM on ILS runway 25L, configured to land. Upon my calling for flaps 30 degrees, PNF selected handle to 30 degrees, but flap position indicator only showed flaps 25 degrees, accompanied by a 'flap disagreement' EICAS message. Decision was made to move handle to 25 degrees, reset speed bugs for flaps 25 degree landing, and continue. Landing was uneventful. At gate, entered irregularity into logbook and contacted company maintenance.
