Any example of two random variables $X$ and $Y$ with correlation $\rho(X,Y)=0$ seems to satisfy that either $X$ is mean independent of $Y$, $\mathbb{E}[Y\mid X]=E[Y]$, or vice versa, $\mathbb{E}[X\mid Y] = E[X]$. Does anyone know of a joint distribution in which both $X$ and $Y$ are mean dependent of each other, but their respective correlation is also zero?

Does zero correlation imply mean independence in at least one direction?

I will lazily and shamelessly take this from Wikipedia, which does a fine job summing this up.
