Was kept fast by ATC; and while configuring for landing; inadvertently had a 5 knot flap overspeed when selecting flaps 3.A little tired.  Accepted an ATC clearance to keep our speed up too long. Recent return to flying after 6 month absence.I will feel free to tell ATC 'unable' in such scenarios in the future.
Was kept fast and high by ATC. While configuring for landing; had an inadvertent 5 knot overspeed while selecting flaps 3.Saw speed reducing below the threshold speed; and lowered flaps; but should have waited for speed to be 10 knots below.Will tell ATC unable if presented with a similar scenario.
Air carrier flight crew reported a flap overspeed issue on initial approach.
