an equation of such a curve can be found explicitly in "J.P. Serre, Rational points on curves over finite fields, Lectures given at Harvard University. Notes by F. Q. Gouvea (1985)." One has C : x^4+y^4-2*z^4=0. It is a twist of the Fermat quartic x^4+y^4+z^4=0. Its Weil polynomial is
(X^2+2*X+5)*(X^2+4*X+1)^2
