Narrative:
On approach to 31R into jfk we had a near miss with a silver or white colored drone. It passed approximately 100 ft or less off the left wing at our altitude on approach. It appeared to be approximately 3 feet square in size. I only saw it momentarily as we flew past it. The captain did not see it.
