This is something of a departure from normal understanding. What evidence do you have for thinking Jesus was a Pharisee?
Jesus believed in angels, demons, spirits, ghosts, and resurrections. The Pharisees believed in those things as well. Therefore Jesus was a Pharisee. The Sadducees thought that they were full of crap.
BTW, since Christians and muslims believe in those things they are also Pharisees.
Acts 23:8 (KJV) = "For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both."
The interesting thing about that verse is that it makes the entire Bible a Pharisee fairy tale and not a traditional (Sadducee) Jewish fairy tale.
