Reference for Berakhot 52:10

ומפני מה אמרו תפלת הערב אין לה קבע שהרי אברים ופדרים שלא נתעכלו מבערב קרבים והולכים כל הלילה

And why is it declared : As for the Tefillah of the evening, it has no fixed time? Because the limbs and the fat which had not been consumed by the evening may be offered at any time during the night.
