I caught it under a clear plastic cup on my desk. It's been in there for about a day now, so I imagine he doesn't have long left. Regardless, should I release it into the wild, leave it, or squash it?

Torture the thing! dam annoying things. Thumb tack one of its wings to a surface and watch it try to fly away.
Kill it..
If you let it go, who knows.. maybe it brings back some friends... they might not show the same kindness.
If you keep it and leave it to die... maybe its friends come looking for it and find you've got it in a cup.. doesnt look good for you.
If you kill it and dispose of the body, they got nothing on you >
..stupid flies

Flies are irritating and not even close to intelligent enough to warrant mercy. Kill the fucker.
Either kill it or let it go. Killing it would probably be better though. One less fly in the world.
This reminds of what I did once. I had a fly under a cup for a week. It was still alive, so I squished it. Good times, good times.
But squish it
But squish it
Why even catch it in the first place? Let the poor thing go. No point in being a big ol' meanie.
Oh yes, insects...
I recall a big fly that managed to get into my room, then unwisely decided to fly in front of me. Now, I keep one of those electric flyswatters around for just such an occasion, and this fly found that out the hard way.
Anyway, after the initial shock of electrified-wires-meets-fly-face where the fly crashes to the floor, I decide to scoop it up on the thing and give it another go.
That wasn't particularly difficult, I'll admit, and it does look kinda funny when their legs twitch and such when current is applied.
Normally, by the time the electricity starts to arc they die, but this one didn't. So I gave it another jolt, at which point it did another take of air-running, then promptly jumped off the thing.
So, I do what any kind, caring netizen would do and placed it back on the wires, and applied more current, because that fly was going down, damn it! However, surprisingly enough, even though it got caught between two wires and started smoking, it simply wouldn't die!
So after deciding that the smell of burnt fly would be a bother I thought to myself that I should probably toss the burned thing out the window, but it simply sat there, on the flyswatter, and polished itself off.
At that point I realized that said fly was actually quite hard to kill, and I figured that, if it was so damned determined to not die, it'd be less of an effort to just toss it out the window.
That fly earned its' freedom.
As for your fly, I think you should do what you want to it, as opposed to asking us all for opinions... however since you did ask, my opinion is to toss it out, because that'd make less of a mess (or if you have a fireplace, wrap it in a piece of paper and light it on fire, that usually does the trick).

Wow. My mind is blow by the sheer insignificance of this topic's subject matter.
