Dumbledore's animagus; invisibility

I also like the idea that Dumbledore is a "natural" animagus. But
invisibility skills aside, 
wouldn't his animagus be a phoenix?  Given that he has a strong
affiliation with the bird.

I thought I saw a reference to Dumbledore's patronus as being a
phoenix and I don't know 
whether one would have both the patronus and animagus in the same
form.

Perhaps the patronus is always the protector/father figure - hence
Harry's being the Stag 
his father turned into, and the animagus is more an animal
representation of oneself.
