Narrative:
The captain was the pilot flying and I was the pilot monitoring. During our visual approach into ZZZ the crew momentarily over sped the flaps going from flaps up to flaps 1. I was the pilot monitoring and when the pilot flying called for flaps 1 I queried him that the speed was too fast. The pilot flying ensured me it was ok to select flaps 1. From there I selected flaps 1; the pilot flying and I both realized we should not have selected flaps 1 at that speed and I quickly retracted them. However; the master caution light did illuminate. Maintenance was notified; a write up in the book was performed and signed off after a visual inspection.both the captain and I had not flown in over a month. Although we discussed this in our threats brief; our recency of experience was a contributing factor. I needed to be more assertive when I saw we were too fast for the requested configuration. Rather than using an informal query; I should have used a hard 'check speed' call and waited for us to agree on the speed before I moved the handle.
