There can only be one answer - he wants you to cover to enable him to make a better judgement as to who holds the missing diamondQ. So you ought to have already played low, looking bored, for all the world looking like a man with spade8432 heartAKJ86 diamondQ7 clubQ4. Declarer may suspect something, but he will need to be an old fox to take the diamond finesse through partner now.
