I really think you should just shove the river, either he's betting intending to call any raise amount or he's folding to any raise amount. The fold looks good to me.

Why raise on the river if you'd fold to a reraise? I remember Lederer talking about how foolish it is to put money into the pot on the river with a made hand, if you have position, and have no intention of calling an allin.

That being said, I think he is value-betting the (better) flush on the river. Was it an instant all-in after you raised?

hmm I would consider just calling the river here.. I cannot see him having the straight so if he leads it's basically either a bluff or a stronger hand, out of my mind there aren't many hands giving you value plus by raise/folding you can never rule out a retarded bluff in which case a fold is costly... it hurts just to call the river but I either shove against stations or just call if my opponent is tight but not bluffy.
