Narrative:

On 2 to 3 mile final and at 2500 feet I saw what I thought was a bird. I was pilot monitoring and advised the first officer the pilot flying of location 11 o'clock and above. As we got closer I believed it to be a drone that passed left to right and 3 to 400 feet above us. I reported altitude a distance on final to tower. It appeared to be about the size of a large bird and dark gray or black in color.
