Default 99 overpair vs LAG + unknown

This is from fairly early in a Party 50+5, 270 started, 160 still in. Avg stack is about 1700.

The flop bettor (BB) just got to the table 2-3 hands ago. Last hand with blinds 15/30, he made it 200 UTG with AQs and called another 1300 from an MP push. (He beat TT, and thus has a big stack.) He might well be leading out figuring the flop missed everyone, but that AQs hand is the only one I've seen him play. He could have a flush draw, a 5, a 7, maybe 66/88...I just don't know.

Flop raiser (UTG+1) is very laggy, with most of his lagginess coming after the flop. He's done a bunch of pushing with 2PNK, or one overcard+backdoor flush, or nothing. I don't give him credit for a 7 here, and any pair better than my 99 would certainly have been raised pf. (The one exception would be a missed limp-reraise. This was the first limp I'd seen him make in 30-40 hands.)

MP2 and SB have been at the table long enough to know about UTG+1, but neither of them much concerns me. MP2 _might_ overcall with TT/JJ but I can't be too worried about that.

Do I have a clear call here? I'm a little nervous about making it but as I think about it more I'm not so sure I should be.
