Aircraft
I was entering right traffic from the north. I was midfield downwind when I heard something impact my right wing. I looked right and saw a black blur. I called the tower and reported a bird strike. I continued with a normal landing. After landing I inspected the aircraft and noticed damage to the leading edge and skin. With no bird debris on the wing; I believe I had a drone strike.
Pilot believed he had a bird strike but after landing and inspecting the aircraft determined it was a collision with a drone.
