no it will have square planar structure due to one lone pair of electron

i have asked for geometry not shape

BrF5: sp3d2 hybradization having octahedral shape with one position occupied by lone pair (or square pyramidal) with five 4sp3d2-2p bonds.
The valance electrons in BrF5 = 7 + 5 × 7 = 42.
There are six lone pairs of electrons around Br. Hence, the arrangement of these electrons around Br will be octahedral; The hybridization involved in this complex is sp3d2.
