Default Top pair, and flush draw on flop. Can we call river?

10$ 20K gtd. In the first hour. New to table... no real reads. I thought I was trapping him with my small-medium turn bet... only to have the dreadful river card fall. Is this river a call? It seems like a value-town bet. ughhhh

Your turn bet is too small. Bet a little bit more.

On the river you have to fold there are 0 hands you beat but pure bluffs which would rarely bet so small. It looks like obvious value and I would believe it.
