Checkraise super small would be a very weird line with a top pair on this board. More importantly, you can't just look at this street in isolation. What did he check call with OTF? Unless he's just drawing to the bare Qc, he'd either need to have the Ac or Kc to go with his offsuit Q, or he'd need to have turned queens up. Him having just a Q on the turn is extremely unlikely.
Occasionally you run into people who use these small checkraises as bluffs, which actually isn't terrible if you pick your players to bluff, but typically this is just the nuts. Folding here all day.
