It's an unusual play for a solid player. Checking to the raiser is the much more common play.
Normally, if you like the flop out of position, you would check and let the preflop raiser act. On most boards, most preflop raisers will bet, so you at least get that bet into the pot before your action. If you really like the flop, you might checkraise, or check and call to minimize the amount of information given to player A.
