On arrival into CLT from ZZZ; we were flying the FILPZ3 arrival. We were south of VALLL at 5;000 feet; talking with Charlotte Approach. We thought that we saw a small bird near our altitude. As it passes to our left; slightly above us; we noted it was not a bird. It also didn't look like a balloon. It had small contours; and we decided it could be a drone. I reported it to Approach Control.
