I think to be a phoenix proper it needs to have flames at the bottom out of which the bird rises.

I think the pin resembles the eagle atop the globe on the mace uswd by the sergeant at arms of the House of Representatives.

The phoenix has a longer neck than the eagle. Here's a funky video on the pin

The sergeant of Arms in the House Of Representatives is in charge of the Mace.
It is kept in his office what is not on the floor of the House.

I was in his office once and I got to hold the Mace.

I have a picture of me holding it. Quite a tour I was on.
