gdm reads the user-configurable face pictures from the file ~/.face.
Just rename an appropriately sized jpeg or png to ~/.face and you will
see it in the face browser.

You are seeing the default face picture located in
/usr/share/pixmaps/nobody.png. You can also set faces for users
globally as an administrator by putting a file named $user or
$user.png in /usr/share/pixmaps/faces/
