Call and call, and take note of whether he was bluffing, or had a hand, etc.

I like Zach's idea with calling both hands.The river donkbet can sometimes be a very key part of someone's game, and I've notived that these habits tend to not fluctuate with most players.Even if calling is somewhat borderline on the first hand, I think the BB you spend for information (in addition to you possibly having the best hand) will either save/make you a net profit when this situation arises again later on in your session.

The simple answer is, you basically always have to pay bets like this off in mid-sized and larger pots with your made hands against almost all opponents.
