Default Call or raise the river?

UTG after 21 hands is 64/0/0.4. Plays darn near any 2 cards as long as one of them has a face, and also plays any pair. The rest of the table is pretty tight, ~25-30% see the flop, less if there's a raise. SB is 5 <yes 5!!>/1/1.7 after 72 hands. I've already had the table fold to me while in the blinds once, rare at .10/.20.

I just had a hard time putting this guy on the diamond draw or a set. If he had 4 to the flush on the flop, I'd expect a bet, even from a passive guy, and if he had a set, a raise would would maybe come on the turn, or a check-raise on the river. At least, that was my thought process. The donk on the river just didn't add up for me. I figure he might have had Kx or Ax, or maybe a pocket pair, but I still think I'm ahead of this guy, so I raised. Is this a smart move, or should you just call?
