Sure.
In pigeons, there is ash red, spread, checker, and T-pattern.
Mice: viable dominant yellow, sombre
Horses: gray and several others.
Salmon (aka hypo) in the boa constrictor. Striped in the California king snake. Though these have variable expressivity where you can sometimes tell the difference between an animal with one copy of the mutant gene and an animal with two copies of the mutant gene. But it's not reliable.
These are just the ones on the tip of my tongue. The description of mouse mutant genes fills a book two inches thick. The description of fruit fly mutant genes may fill a book that is even thicker. There are plenty of dominant mutants that I never heard of or haven't thought of at this moment.
