Once i had cbet flop and got raised, his range in my opinion is pretty wide, value range of Qx, semibluffing range of flushdraws (mostly better than mine but some worse) and pure bluffing range. Given that I am IP i think having wide calling range can be beneficial (with some reraising frequency along) because I can take advantage of position on two later streets.
When the flushcard hits turn, his range is: Qx (mostly bare, with a few boats), flush (K/Ahigh, with some

- Range villain, Qx, nut FD
- Airballs, with equity (broadways with backdoorstraightdraws)
Turn
I like a bet in this spot, protection/value bet from Qx. I am not afraid of getting check-raised in this spot.
River
I like to valuebet the river on 6, 4, T, and J, because of the blocker HERO has. Basically all rivers smaller than the 9, because I am assuming villain's openingrange from the SB consists of Q with high cards. SB ranges are
generally tighter.
The only hand i am bit afraid of is AhQxhx, to get most value out of bluffs/worse.
Given his flop play villain might put HERO on a airball, since HERO could have floated the flop and try to bluff turn/river.
When I have seen regulars take creative value-lines I will add these type of hands into their range, if haven't seen them take creative value lines. I think I can discount these hands from his range.
I probably would check back river unless I boated up though. The chance of him x/r'ing or x/c'ing a better flush for me outweighs the times he calls with just Qxxx. Unless you have a very bluffs history, I expect most opponents to find a fold (or x/r bluff) with a bare queen on the river here.
As played I´d probably check the turn and try to make a read on the river if he bets and otherwise check it back.
Phil, why can he play the river better than us oop when our range is a lot of Qxxx/flush here?
