There is no "current animation" because multiple animations can be playing at the same time. For example, you could be cross-fading between idle and run, or you could be playing a blend of walk animations (walk forward + strafe right) and also upper body animations such as waving, all at the same time.

I recommend keeping track of the animation yourself. For example:

 string currentAnimation = null;
 currentAnimation = "Run Forward";
 animation.Play(currentAnimation);
 animation[currentAnimation].speed = VelocityMagnitude / RunSpeed;

The code above is just an example based on your question that should get you started. But in practice you'll probably want to implement something more robust.

Another approach would be to iterate through all the clips in animation[] and examine the weights. Hmm, I just noticed these have both suggested earlier in this question: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/153785/retrieving-the-name-of-the-animation-currently-pla.html

I guess that's what you have been looking for.

 private string CurrentPlayingAnimation
 {
             get
             {
                 if (this.Animation.isPlaying)
                     foreach (AnimationState item in this.Animation)
                         if (this.Animation.IsPlaying(item.name))
                             return item.name;
                 return null;
            }
 }

Mmmm I prefer...

 Animator animator;
 AnimatorClipInfo[] animatorinfo;
 string current_animation;
 
 
     void Awake()
     {
         animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
     }
 
     void Update()
     {
         animatorinfo = this.animator.GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo(0);
         current_animation = animatorinfo[0].clip.name;
     }
