"Lost" Buddy photo on iChat?

Alright, that's what happened:

When I got my MBP - which is now almost half a year and definately made my life better - and set it up the first time, I took a photo for my iChat Buddy photo with iSight. I changed the photo recently but now wanted to switch back to the first photo I took, but can't find it. Does anybody know how I can get that photo back again? It's not under Recent Pictures nor can I find it over Spotlight since I don't know how under what filename the photo was saved. And it's not in iPhoto or the picture folder itself.

Any ideas / solutions?

By recent pictures do you mean:

Home folder > Library > Images > iChat Recent Pictures

Yes. All I have in there is a file called Recents.plist. When I open it, Omniplaner opens up. Can I get the lost pic from there somehow?

There should be .tiff images in the folder. If not, it doesn't have your photo any more. The file name should be "Recent <some number>.tiff". You could try searching Spotlight for "Recent tiff".

Thanx, but unfortunately it can't be found via Spotlight. Guess it's lost then. Thanx again.
