Narrative:

Upon arrival at at layover hotel, there was a message to call bdl operation. The operations agent informed me that during taxi in, the right wingtip of my B767, had made contact with left wingtip of the B767 parked at the next gate. I did not know of this until advised by phone call. There were no wing walkers and the periphery of the gate area was poorly lighted. The lead in lines were indistinguishable due to wet ground and reflection from flood lights on terminal. The linemans commands were followed all the way in. The right wingtip lens cover was damaged, no further damage. No injuries.
