A Lockheed L-12A Electra Junior c/n 1306 registation OY-AOV Preserved as Netherlands AF "L2-38" at the Nationaal Militair Museum - Soesterberg.
The Lockheed Hudson was a much larger design with a deep elliptical fuselage than the smaller L-12A Electra Junior.
The Hudson had fowler flaps which extend back from the trailing edge to increase wing area. The mechanism for the fowler flaps stick out from TE and are instantly noticeable in photos. Those are not on this plane in the photo above, which has split flaps.

jim gevay is correct! Also, the Lockheed Hudson would have clear glazing in the nose for a bombardier or bomb aimer and this aircraft in the photo is sans any evidence of bomb bay doors too. The Hudson was a light bomber and coastal reconnaissance patrol aircraft.
