get_avatar pulling gravatar

I’m relatively new to PHP and could use a little help with using this plugin. I created a custom theme and in it I want to display the logged in users profile image they uploaded. I use

<?php
$user_id = wp_get_current_user(); echo get_avatar( $user_id ); ?>

but it always seems pull the gravitar image instead even though it shows the new uploaded image in “Your Profile”. What am I doing wrong here?
