i am thinking i could have lost some less on the river by check-calling ?

I'd only be checking the river to induce a bluff, which rarely works. Think you're right to bet as he calls with any diamond, and could always be a stubborn player that can't pass even without a diamond.

Problem with his shove over your bet is you know he pretty much has to have it...
