Default two pair from the SB facing all in?

This is from a $4/180. This is my third or so hand at the table so I have no reads. I didn't think the villian would have QQ even though I've seen some stupid limps in these before which also makes Q6 or Q2 possible. 66 and 22 could be out there but obviously a little less likely because I hold one of each. Do I see enough QJ-AQ or flush draw/combo hands to make this call with these stacks?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG (t10710)
UTG+1 (t4005)
MP1 (t9995)
MP2 (t6030)
CO (t11665)
Button (t6705)
Hero (t5500)
BB (t12365)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls t200, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls t200, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t875) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t600</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t10485</font>, MP1 folds, Hero ...?

I would call here. From the stacks shown it looks like hero needs to make up some ground (looks like hero is below average). The range of possibility is wide but hero is ahead more often then not.

Instacall. 2pair+backdoor flush, as bakes said, those are the hands you will see, and you just have to dodge the board pairing one of your cards on the turn/river

Bakes' range is very accurate IMO.

Oh I know, I hate when my two pair gets counterfitted into a full house. Damn Riverstars.

if you aren't planning on calling this then why are you playing this hand in the first place? other than hitting a straight flush or a FH on the flop this is one of the better flops you could hope for.

Easy call, 22 or 66 is unlikely given that you have those cards yourself. Probably a diamond draw, maybe a weak Q like Bakes said. You are probably tentative because you are deep but you need to make up some ground with your strong flopped hands like this.
