Here's one by Seth Tepfer that I enjoy calling (and did, at CDSS American Week), as it's a same-role corners featuring the robins.

A suggested mod from a dancer at AmWeek is that, rather than turning 180 degrees in place, the robins allemande right 3/4 to get to the wavy line.

If you alternated this dance, larks would also allemande right, unless you dare a mirror corners! The robins would need to shift left one place at the start of the corners to make it feel perfectly right, but that might not be critical. (I've only ever called it as written.)

Thank you Alan and Peter.  (I'm still soliciting for interesting contra corner dances.)
Utah Ree,  Double Trouble and men at the End all satisfy my request quite excellently
I think Utah Reel is the one I have danced with Will Mentor calling.
When calling one of these, I would suggest having those turning contra corners to  think 
of their  corners as  1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base and home plate

There is also Men at the End, again with double contra corners but
the alternation is women, then men
