Help Selecting which photo to use for contact?

I have several contacts that are linked from multiple sources - for example, I have my wife on FB, twitter, gmail, etc. Currently the contact photo is pulled from Twitter, but it's an old photo and not updated nearly as much as her FB photo. Is there any way to set it so it defaults to Facebook photo for all contacts, or even a way to just change it for specific contacts of my choosing?
 
The only thing I can think of is to unlinked all the accounts to the contact. Then re-link them, but link her FB account first and I'm pretty sure that will be the default contact photo it will use.
Nice try but no, that doesn't work. Actually I misspoke, it's reverting to the Google account photo which makes me think I may not be able to do this.

Unsure about prioritizing account photos, but you can just swap out her photo with one you have stored on your SD card. Just to into the contact and "edit", tap the photo silhouette and from there you can change the pic.
