A somewhat less trivial sequence with this property 
(not yet in OEIS) is a(n) = n/8 if A007814(n) == 3 mod 4, else a(n) = 2n.  

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 1, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 
42, 44, 46, 3, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 
5, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 7, 
114, 116, 118, 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 130, 132, 134, 136, 138, 140, 142, 
9, 146, 148, 150, 152, 154, 156, 158, 160, 162, 164, 166, 168, 170, 172, 
174, 11, 178, 180, 182, 184, 186, 188, 190, 192, 194, 196, 198, 200

I think I'll submit it.

Cheers,
Robert
