Hey, what's a good action for the riv? I check turn b/c I'm not sure where villain is at, he can easily have a flush, seems like a donk. I don't want to lead and have to muck to shove.

c/c on the flop is so looking like a draw... but you say he is a donk, so he could have called with KQo or something like that stuff donkies think they can improve with.
If you fear the flush c/c a halfpot bet on the river is ok i think.
If I'm certain he is mainly passive I might put a 250-350 bet on the river.

yeah I just checked riv... afterwards I think v-bet is better (tho opponent would probably check back flush on turn). Not sure which is better.

Quit posting what you did so quickly, give us a chance to respond. But honestly, I think you gotta value bet here. If he pushes, I would probably still call.

well I'm still undecided what the better play is... the action that I did in the hand is pretty irrelevant I think.

Your'e pretty much saying that you missed a value bet here. For the average poster, you're giving away to much information. That all I was trying to say. But, again, either check or bet is really close.
