Presumably you mean an alternative tune?

Colored Aristocracy, and Stony Point were the usual ones I paired with REDWING when I was playing in a string band.

I usually switch to Angeline the baker. It makes an interesting change into a minor key.

Kristina likes to do what we now call "Southern Aristocracy" in deference to the present near-psychopathic levels of political correctness, then go into Redwing.

In the past, I have heard others do a medley of Golden Slippers followed by Redwing, or else vice versa.

Similar rhythm at the start in the 18th century Scottish fiddle tune "The Black Part of the Cunt":

Be ornithological. Add Bye-Bye Blackbird and Listen to the Mockingbird.

The Sussex Pistols play Redwing to follow La Russe and as I like calling that dance, we play it pretty often.

Two different copies of the original sheet music describe Red Wing (2 words) as an Indian Intermezzo or an Indian Fable.

In keeping with the Indian theme, 2 appropriate related tunes would be
Silver Bell and Snow Deer.

Given some of the alternative words to "Red Wing", my suggestion is a natural follow-on... that was why I thought of it.

Fair comment Jack but I don't think the ladies in my band would appreciate me calling it out :-)

One of our oldest sets is Redwing in D straight into Bow-legged Chicken in G. Rather appropriate really.
