Thanks all for you input. I buy the general argument that a bet here isn't in my best interest, as I will likely only get bad hands to fold.
What did I actually do:
I bet, he called. He had black AQ. My pot.
I see my bet on the river there as a slow leak... still working to find the balance of when agressive play increases, vs decreases my EV.
thanks again.

I get awfully nervous when I see a four flush on the board, and my tendency is to fold/check if I don't have the suit ... even heads-up. I would guess this is a leak that could be costly over time. ... comments on this hand would be welcomed:
