Default 2/4 - Can\'t put villain on a hand range, so I call?

Villain is new to the table and stats show slightly LAG over a very small sample size, haven't seen him do anything tricky in his two orbits so far.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (6 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB ($402)
Hero ($414)
UTG ($422)
MP ($655.40)
CO ($417.90)
Button ($233.40)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $14</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero calls $10.

Flop: ($30) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $22</font>, Hero calls $22.

Turn: ($74) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks.

River: ($74) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $40</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $160</font>, Hero calls $120.

Final Pot: $394

What plays like this other than 88 or a bluff? I considered QQ+ might check/pot control the turn and decide to raise river when I only half pot (but its not even that weak of a block bet), but that's a pretty big value raise with just an overpair. J8 and 68 are possible but discounted from the UTG raise.

57 and 88 are a lot of his range here..even 68.... I really think calling here is kinda meh.

I'd prefer to have a better read. I agree the raise is a bit big which indicates a bluff is possible, but I think I'd still pitch it.
