Blind vs blind, bottom pair and NFD, double barrel bluff

Blinds: $0.25/$0.50 (4 Players) CO: $50.25
BN: $27.99
SB: $51.75 (Hero)
BB: $77.11
Preflop ($0.75) Hero is SB with A 5
2 folds, Hero raises to $1.25, BB calls $0.75
BB is TAG reg. He is a bit on the tighter side.
Flop ($2.50) 9 Q 5
Hero checks, BB checks
Bottom pair + NFD. So I check.
Turn ($2.50) 9 Q 5 K
Hero bets $1.73, BB calls $1.73
Turn is good for my range. I still have bottom pair + NFD, and I probably should check here again. Not sure why I bet here: probably was distracted.
River ($5.96) 9 Q 5 K 8
Hero bets $4.30, BB folds
With Villain's turn call, there's a decent chance that I'm behind. Of course, he could also have a random hand with a diamond. Still, given my read on the villain that he's a bit on the tighter side, I think that there's a decent chance I'm beat here. And I would find it very hard to check/call here.

So I turn my bottom pair into a bluff. I have the nut flush blocker. A better hand to do this would be AJ with Ad, since I also block some straights. Still, I can make him fold out stuff like 9x, 77-66, or a weak Queen.

What do you think of my line?
