i would just call the turn since he's not folding a baby flush but he's prolly folding anything else, and you dont care what card comes on the river so you can still call a push if you think you have the best hand.

Yep, go ahead and check behind; if you want to be called Caspar Milquetoast for the rest of your life, that is.

I bet it took you longer to type that, to check back to see if anyone responded, and to read my response than it would have, had you looked it up.

checking the turn is a good play at certain times. it's not like you're worried about a free card, they can only help you. checking is good vs. passive/trappy dudes so you can outdraw their flush.

betting turn is good vs an aggro guy who will come over the top to rep a flush, and vs calling station fish who will keep callllllling with any piece of the board.

so really it's up to you. there's no right play here.
