I would like it to use a system photo but if no system photo is available choose one from the list.

Why? sometimes are users are blocked from uploading system photo’s and some of the users are allowed them.

Assign one at random is kind of good but then you would need to use non-gender or non-ethnicity avatars, so I would prefer they choose one and we celebrate diversity.
